As part of one of the matches of the group stage of the women's volleyball Olympic tournament in Tokyo, volleyball players of the national teams of South Korea and the Dominican Republic will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? Does our sports portal give a forecast for this meeting?
South Korea
The South Korean national team lost to the Brazilian team in three sets at the start of the tournament, in fact, without showing anything supernatural. After that, the Asian team managed to reach the main outsider of the group – the national team of Kenya with a positive mood and beat the opponent with a result of 3:0. In case of another victory, the team will most likely guarantee itself a place in the playoffs, but for this you need to defeat someone from the Serbia-Dominican Republic-Japan tri.
Dominican Republic
The national team of the Dominican Republic was defeated by the Serbs at the start of the competition. After that, the team was able to provide more than decent resistance to the formidable Brazil, which celebrated the victory in only five games. Frankly, no one doubts the success of the Dominicans over the Kenyan national team. The only question is whether there are enough Asian women for at least one set. And is Dominicana herself ready to score points in the upcoming duel?
Statistics and figures:
- The Dominican Republic is the favorite of the meeting;
- South Korea was able to win only once in 5 meetings;
- Dominicana won 2 times in 5 previous matches;
- The last face-to-face meeting ended in favor of the Dominican Republic – 3: 0;
- The Dominicans won 4 matches out of the previous 5 against their opponent.
Forecast
For some reason, it seems that this meeting will not be complete in 3 sets. As for me, you need to bet on the passage of the total in 3.5 games. Bookmakers give quite a tolerable quote for this coefficient.
