Great Britain will compete with Canada in the match of the 2nd round of the group stage of the OI-2020. Will the Canadians be able to score the first points?
Great Britain
Great Britain in the first round, as expected, broke the resistance of South Africa, achieving a victory by a margin of two goals (3-1). If in the first half the Africans were able to compete on equal terms, and did not even lose - 1:1, then after the resumption of the match they missed twice and did not find anything to answer. This victory was only the second in a row for the British, but it is already the fourth in the last five games.
Canada
Canada was not able to fight in the first round, losing in all respects to the German national team (1-7). It's good that at least not in the dry, but even this is not able to cheer up. And on the other hand, why be upset if such a result was read before the start of the match. The Germans are simply stronger, which they proved by winning in each of the halves with a difference of three goals: 4: 1 and 3: 0.
Statistics and figures:
- Great Britain has won four victories in five extreme matches;
- Canada has lost in three of the last four matches;
- Great Britain is the favorite of the match.
Forecast
The British approach the match in the status of favorites, which they should prove by winning a major victory. Considering that the Canadians can also score, or maybe two, I choose a total of more than 5 goals.
