In the match of the 4th round of the group stage of the OI-2020, Australia and Spain will face off. On whose side will luck turn out to be?
Australia
On the one hand, Australia is the most unstable team in the world at the moment, and on the other, it can compete for this right and succeed in it - the whole point is that the Australians have been alternating victories with defeats for twenty matches. It was 17 before the start of the 2020 Olympic Games, but the trend continued in the group stage: a defeat from Montenegro 10-15, a victory over Croatia 11-8 and a loss to Serbia 8-14.
Spain
But the Spaniards are doing great. After three rounds, they can think about the playoffs, since they have a ticket there in their pocket. This was made possible thanks to a 3-match winning streak at the group stage of the OI-2020: Serbia (13-12), Montenegro (8-6) and Kazakhstan (16-4) suffered alternately at the hands of the Spaniards. Interestingly, in the final friendly match before the start of the Olympics, the Spaniards lost (8-9 to Italy), but they were able to return to the winning path in the official games, and they are also developing this very path.
Statistics and figures:
- Australia alternates wins with losses for 20 games;
- Spain won in all three matches of the group stage;
- Spain won against Australia in four of the previous five matches.
Forecast
The Spaniards are the favorites, and only a miracle should happen so that they can not cope with Australia, which is thrown from side to side from match to match.
