In the match for the Olympic "gold" in the classic volleyball tournament, the players of the national teams of France and Russia will come face to face. Will the team of Tuomas Sammelvuo be able to win the Olympic tournament together with the "red machine"?
France
The volleyball players of the French national team with great difficulty got out of the group in the playoffs. The team took the fourth place and literally climbed into the last car of the departing train. In the playoffs, the French managed to defeat Poland on a tie-break, after which the team beat Argentina in three sets – 3:0. France has already played with Russia in this tournament, and became the only team that managed to defeat the "red machine" at the OI.
Russia
As for the Russian team, it performs very consistently at the tournament in Tokyo. The only defeat our national team received in a duel against France (1: 3). The rest of the teams were successfully outplayed by our team in 3 or 4 sets. However, the defeat of the "tricolor" did not prevent Russia from finishing in first place in the group. In the playoffs, we managed to cope with the Canadians in three sets and limit ourselves to three games in the confrontation with Brazil.
Statistics and figures:
- Russia is the favorite of the meeting;
- France has a 2-match winning streak;
- Russia has won three times in 5 meetings;
- The opponents met each other in the group stage, and then France defeated Russia with a score of 3:1.
Forecast
As a true patriot, I will bet on Russia's victory in this meeting. Our team is in good playing conditions and will do everything to defeat its opponent. Our bet will be in favor of the"red car".
