The women's national teams of Japan and Spain will meet in one of the matches of the 5th round of the group stage of the OI-2020. We analyze the form of the teams and give a forecast.
Japan (w)
Before the final round of the group stage, the Japanese women no longer have a chance of getting out of the group, so the upcoming match will be their last at the home Olympics. In previous matches, the Japanese national team did not score a single point, losing alternately to China (3-4), New Zealand (1-2), Australia (0-1) and Argentina (1-2). It is incredibly insulting to the Japanese for such a result, because they did not lose big, but each time they conceded minimally.
Spain (w)
The Spaniards got off to a terrible start at the Olympics, losing first to Australia (1-3), and then to Argentina (0-3). However, before the third round, we rebooted, forgot about the failures and won two victories-2: 1 over New Zealand and 2: 0 over China. On the eve of the last round, the Spanish women's national team takes fourth place with four points and is three points ahead of the Chinese women following.
Statistics and figures:
- Japan (w) lost in all four matches;
- Spain (w) won in the previous two matches;
- Spain (w) is the favorite of the opposition.
Forecast
Japan will not make the playoffs, but it will certainly try to finish the Olympics with a positive result. I bet that the Japanese women will be able to score twice, they should still break through.
