As part of the second round of the group stage of the OI-2020, the women's national teams of Russia and Hungary will come face to face. Will the Russians be able to win a second victory?
Russia (w)
In the first round, the Russian women's national team left an ambiguous impression. On the one hand, the victory was won, and this is the main thing, and on the other, the level of the game was frankly disappointing, and to a greater extent the actions near their possessions. Too many liberties were allowed by the Russians to their rivals from China, who gladly took advantage of this and scored. Russia won 18-17, and if the game in attack can and should be praised, then the defense needs to be improved, and urgently.
Hungary (w)
This year, the Hungarian women thoroughly got down to business and prepared as seriously as possible for the OI-2020. In total, they took part in thirteen matches, in which they were able to win nine victories with four defeats. During the course of the series, there were both ups - six wins in a row, and downs - three losses in five games. Such sharp changes cannot but cause excitement, especially if you look at the actions in the attack - there was often no creativity and the implementation failed.
Statistics and figures:
- Russia (w) started at the OI-2020 with a victory over China 18-17;
- For Hungary (w), the reporting match will be the first at the Tokyo Olympics;
- Hungary (w) is the favorite of the match.
Forecast
The bookmakers put Hungary as the favorite, which I don't really agree with. If we make a forecast about the victory of one of the teams, then rather there should be equality between the coefficients, since the Hungarians have been on the decline lately, and the Russians, although they miss a lot, score a lot too.
