The USA and Japan will meet in the final match of the OI-2020. Will the hosts of the Olympics be able to take gold?
USA (w)
If the American women can win in the final, they will achieve a very prestigious achievement - they will take gold, winning all the matches. At the moment, the United States has five victories, three of which came in the group stage, and two, respectively, in the playoffs. Each of the victories was achieved with confidence, and the most difficult was the confrontation with Nigeria, in which the Americans won "only" with a difference of nine points.
Japan (w)
Although the Japanese women already have a defeat, but it happened in the match of the second round of the group stage, and from the rivals in the final (69-86), and it did not become critical, moreover, the hosts of the Olympics won all the other games. The most difficult was the victory over Belgium in the quarterfinals (86-85), and the easiest was Victoria over Nigeria in the group stage (102-83).
Statistics and figures:
- USA (w) won all five games;
- Japan (w) won in four out of five matches;
- The USA (w) and Japan (w) met three times and each time the American women won.
Forecast
Judging by the level of the game, the Americans are stronger, but the final is ahead, in which all past achievements and achievements fade into the background, because again you need to prove your strength and ambitions. I think that the Japanese women can quite create a sensation and take the gold at home, even though they lost to the USA in the group stage, and without much chance of success.
