Croatia and Montenegro will meet in one of the matches of the 3rd round of the group stage of the OI-2020. Will someone win a second victory?
Croatia
Croatia started its performances at the OI-2020 very confidently, defeating Kazakhstan with a score of 23-7. However, it did not work out to develop success and win in the second round - a defeat from Australia with a result of 8: 11. At the moment, four teams have 2 points at once in Group B, and it is the Croats who are the worst-in fifth position, outside the playoff zone.
Montenegro
In the same sequence, the national team of Montenegro also scored points, which defeated Australia in its debut match at the Olympics (15-10), and in the next game it made only six effective shots, and received eight from Spain as a response. On the eve of the third round, Montenegro is in second place, and in case of defeat, it will not just lose its place in the playoffs, but will also be on the last sixth line.
Statistics and figures:
- Croatia has two points out of four potential;
- Montenegro won in one match out of two;
- Montenegro won against Croatia in three extreme head-to-head matches.
Forecast
The most important game for both teams, because a victory will significantly increase the chances of reaching the playoffs. It is dangerous to climb into the outcome, but it seems to me that it is very possible to play the total total more than 19.5.
