The women's national teams of Japan and South Korea will meet in a face-to-face confrontation within the 3rd round of the group stage of the OI-2020. Who will be stronger?
Japan (w)
In the first round, the Japanese women's national team was expected to lose to the Netherlands (21-32), and only the first half was a failure, in which the "orange" defeated Victoria with a result of 18-10. As for the second round, the Japanese women have already managed to achieve a positive result in it, having coped with Montenegro (29-26). At the moment, Japan is in third place with two points.
South Korea (w)
South Korea also lost in the first round, but its tournament position is worse for the reason that it also remained without scoring points in the second round. First, Norway (27-39) became the offender of South Korea, and then the Netherlands (36-43). A defeat in the reporting match will deprive South Korea of its chances of getting out of the group, so it is logical to expect a more active game from it.
Statistics and figures:
- Japan (w) has one win and one loss;
- South Korea (w) lost in the opening two games;
- South Korea (w) is the favorite of the match.
Forecast
I suggest not to beat around the bush here and bet on the victory of South Korea, which only 2 points will help to stay in the battle for the playoffs.
