The teams of Spain and Argentina will meet in the match of the 5th round of the group stage of the OI-2020. Will the Argentines be able to score the first points?
Spain
The Spaniards started very confidently and cheerfully, having won three victories in three opening matches. The French national team did not lag behind, which responded to Spain with a victory for a victory, and in the fourth round, in a face-to-face match, it achieved a victory with a score of 31-36. However, this loss did not become a disaster for the Spaniards, since they still came out in the playoffs, and they are close to finishing in the second position in the group, because now they have six points and are two ahead of Germany following behind.
Argentina
If Spain started with victories, then Argentina decided to go a different way and started losing to everyone from the first round, and with such confidence that it still can't stop. The negative streak began with a defeat from France (27-33), and then it went-it went: 25-33 from Germany, 23-27 from Norway and 23-25 from Brazil. By the way, the loss to the Brazilians was decisive, because it finally deprived Argentina of a chance to get out of the group.
Statistics and figures:
- Spain has three wins with one loss;
- Argentina lost in all four matches;
- Spain won against Argentina in all eight head-to-head confrontations.
Forecast
The Spaniards are the favorites, and they will try to prove it in the game, achieving a fourth victory in five games. I don't think that Argentina, which has already flown out, will just strongly resist.
