As part of one of the matches of the group stage of the women's European Volleyball Championship, volleyball players of the national teams of Germany and Greece will compete. Will the favorite be able to confirm his status in this confrontation?
Germany (w)
The German national volleyball team performs well at the European Championship. At the moment, the Bundestim has managed to win 2 victories in 3 games. The Germans started the tournament with a defeat against Poland (1: 3), which they managed to compensate with successful results in the games against the Czech Republic (3: 1) and Bulgaria (3:2). Germany has 5 points in the asset, which allows it to occupy the fourth place in the group with one game left relative to the leaders. It seems that the issue of reaching the playoffs has already been resolved.
Greece (w)
The Greek national team has played 4 games so far. It is worth noting that in all four meetings the Greek women lost to their rivals and lost the opportunity to reach the playoffs of the tournament. It all started with a failure in the game against Bulgaria (0: 3), and continued in the games against Poland (0:3), Spain (2:3) and the Czech Republic (0:3). In the last game, "ellas" will fight only for the honor of their country, because the team no longer solves tournament tasks.
Statistics and figures:
- Germany is a clear favorite of the meeting;
- The Germans won 2 meetings out of 3 at the tournament;
- Germany and Greece have played each other 4 times;
- In 3 games, the representatives of Germany won;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the teams ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of Germany.
Forecast
I don't expect the Greek national team to win this game. Most likely, Germany will calmly defeat its rivals in three sets, teaching them a lesson in good European volleyball. I bet on the grassroots total for a solid coefficient.
