The women's national teams of Serbia and Canada will meet in a face-to-face confrontation in the first round of the group stage of the OI-2020. We analyze the form of the teams and give a forecast.
Serbia (w)
Serbia came to the Olympic Games in Tokyo for another gold, since the previous one was won a month ago, on June 27, when the European Championship was won. At the main tournament of the continent among the national teams, Serbia performed as convincingly as possible, winning six victories in six matches. In two cases, the Serbs had to demonstrate their character and will to win, because it went into overtime. As for the decisive match at the European Championship, Serbia beat France (63-54).
Canada (w)
The Canadian women's national team could have come to the OI-2020 with the gold of another tournament, but only the fourth place was taken in the AmeriCup Women tournament. In the group stage, the Maple Leafs won four games in four games, then defeated the Dominican Republic in the quarterfinals (90-53), and after that they suffered two defeats, which led only to the top 4-61: 65 from Puerto Rico and 82:87 from Brazil.
Statistics and figures:
- Serbia (w) won in six extreme matches;
- Canada (w) lost in the last two matches;
- Serbia (w) is the favorite of the match.
Forecast
Canada failed at the end of the AmeriCup Women tournament, flying past the medals, but Serbia kept its cool at the European Championship until the last, thanks to which it took the gold. I think that in the wake of success, the Serbian women will again act very confidently and win.
