Japan
The Japanese national team at the last Volleyball World Championship was able to reach the 1/8 finals stage. In the first round of the playoffs, the Asian team received France as its opponents, to which it lost in a tie-break with a score of 2:3. In preparation for the new League of Nations tournament, the Japanese held two friendly matches. In the first meeting, the Asian team was able to beat Poland with a score of 3:2, after which they lost to the Poles with a score of 1:3, failing to show their best level of volleyball.
Iran
The Iranian national team also reached the playoffs at the last Volleyball World Championship. As part of the 1/8 finals, the Asian team immediately got to Brazil, to which they lost with a score of 0:3. At the same time, Iran played poorly only in the first set, after which it lost by a difference of 2-3 points. Iran did not prepare for the tournament through friendly matches, but trained behind closed doors, taking a very solid squad to the international championship.
Statistics and figures:
- Japan is the favorite of the meeting;
- Japan won twice in 5 matches;
- Iran has lost three times in 5 games;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of the Japanese.
Forecast
In this meeting, the Chinese team will still be able to win, although the meeting will be tense and extremely unpredictable. I bet on the success of the Asian team through the passage of the basic betting total.
