As part of one of the matches of the group stage of the volleyball World Cup, the players of the national teams of Cuba and Qatar will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this duel? Our sports portal gives a forecast for the upcoming match.
Before the Volleyball World Cup, Cuba held fantastic Pan-American Games, in which they confidently won, beating Canada in the final and not losing a single set at the tournament.
As part of the world championship that started, the Cubans could present the main sensation and beat the Brazilians, because during the meeting they led with a score of 2:0, however, the selecao class still affected, and they defeated Cuba in the tie-break – 2:3. In the upcoming match, the Cubans are determined to beat the opponent as much as possible, to compete for the playoffs.
As for the Qatari team, it was able to take only 5th place at the last Asian Championship in 2021, defeating Australia 3-0 in a face-to-face meeting.
Since then, the team has held only 2 meetings. She lost to Turkey in the quarterfinals of the Challenge Cup (1:3), and then lost to Japan already at the Volleyball World Cup with a score of 0:3, having no chance to compete for victory in the tournament.
Statistics and figures:
- Cuba is the clear favorite of the meeting; the Cubans won 4 out of 5 meetings; Japan lost 2 meetings in a row; the rivals had not previously met each other.
Forecast
I believe that from the very first set, the Cubans will focus their forces on attacking actions and will be able to confidently defeat their opponent. A smart start in the first game will ensure a confident victory in the opening set with a handicap of 6.5 points.
