In one of the matches of the 1/8 finals of the volleyball World Championship, the players of the national teams of Poland and Tunisia will come face to face. Which of the rivals will be able to win in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this match.
Poland
The Polish national team managed to win the third place in the League of Nations this summer. As part of the home World Championship, the Poles fought in face-to-face matches with Bulgaria, Mexico and the USA. In the first two meetings, the "red and white" were able to defeat opponents with a score of 3:0, while in the last meeting, the Poles defeated the American national team with a score of 3:1. Following the results of the group stage, Poland was able to take the first place in the group and received a very weak opponent in the 1/8 finals of the tournament.
Tunisia
The Tunisian national team won the Africa Cup last year, which allowed the team to reach the final stage of the volleyball World Cup. Tunisia started the World Championship with a 3-0 victory over Puerto Rico, after which the Tunisians lost in head-to-head matches with Ukraine (0:3) and Serbia (0:3). Tunisia was able to take the third place in its group, and in the ranking of the teams that took this line in their quartets, it was able to get to the fourth place, which gave the guests a ticket to the 1/8 finals, where the team hardly shines in the match with the Poles.
Statistics and figures:
- Poland is the favorite of the meeting;
- Poles have a 9-match winning streak;
- Tunisia has 2 defeats in a row;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended in 2019, in favor of Poland.
Forecast
I'll take a chance and assume that the opponents will be able to break the total of 129.5 points. The bet is partly risky, but Tunisia is not as weak a team as it may seem at first glance.
