As part of one of the matches of the group stage of the volleyball World Cup, the players of the national teams of France and Slovenia 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.
Francia French are the current winners of the Volleyball League of Nations.
In the summer, the "tricolor" performed superbly, and without a hitch they reached the decisive game, where they were able to beat the USA in a tie-break – 3:2. At the same time, the French could have completely dealt with the Americans, but with the score 2:0 in their favor, they let the situation out of control. However, the champions managed to get together in time and concentrate their forces on the decisive game. In preparation for the World Cup, France held a friendly meeting with Brazil, where it celebrated success – 3:0. At the tournament, the French started with a confident victory over Germany -3:0. The Slovenian national team, along with Poland, is one of the hosts of the tournament.
But now, as it seems, this is no longer the Slovenia that we knew a couple of years ago. At the last League of Nations, the "tricolor" could not even compete for the playoffs, let alone get to the Final Four. The team took the 10th place, losing only 1 victory to the 8th-placed Netherlands. In preparation for the World Cup, Slovenia held one meeting, in which it was stronger than Iran – 3:0. Within the framework of the world forum, Slovenia played one match, where it defeated Cameroon – 3:0. However, each set was held in a fight, so it is difficult to call an unambiguous victory of the Slovenes.
Statistics and figures:
- France is the favorite of the meeting; The French won 6 matches in a row; Slovenia won two meetings in a row; The last face–to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of France.
Forecast
I don't believe this meeting will end in three sets. Most likely, Slovenia will be able to compete for victory in at least one game. At the same time, the sets will be effective. They predict the passage of a high total of 184.5 points.
