Volleyball players of the national teams of Russia and Argentina will compete in the next meeting of the group stage of the OI-2020. Which of the competitors will get the victory in the face-to-face confrontation?
Russia (w)
The Russian national volleyball team did not perform in the best way in the League of Nations, taking a place in the middle of the standings. The Russian volleyball players also performed unsuccessfully in the opening meeting at the OI-2020, in a duel against Italy. Our team failed to resist the Italians, and Russia lost to "squadra azzurra" with a " dry " score of 0:3. In the upcoming match, the exit to the playoffs may depend on our actions.
Argentina (w)
The national team of Argentina lost in the first meeting to Brazil, but left a pleasant impression of their game, despite the fact that the match ended with a" dry " score of 0:3. In each of the games, a relatively equal game was played between the South American women. It is obvious that Albiceleste will not be afraid of anyone and will try to get a victory in the fight against the Russian team, which is in a difficult situation.
Statistics and figures:
- Russia is a clear favorite of the meeting;
- Both teams were defeated in the opening meeting at the Olympics;
- The Argentines lost twice in 5 matches;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals happened in 2019, at the World Cup, where the Russians defeated their rivals with a score of 3:0.
Forecast
Most likely, the Russian team will not be able to complete the meeting in three sets. Four conditional games – that's about 170 points. There is an assumption that the Argentines will catch on to us at least in one set and make all the fans of our team nervous.
