In the match of the first round of the group stage of the women's World Volleyball Championship, the volleyball players of the national teams of Poland and Croatia will come face to face. Which of the rivals will get the victory in this game? Our sports portal evaluates the opponents' chances of success.
Poland (w)
The Polish national team did not perform in the best way in the last tournament of the League of Nations. It is worth noting the fact that she took the 13th place out of 16 in the standings. The Red-Whites were able to win 4 out of 12 meetings. Poland has not been playing well lately, and in three extreme friendly matches it lost to its rivals. Defeats with the same score 1:3 overtook the Polish team in the games with Serbia, Italy and Turkey. Obviously, the team is not in the best playing shape.
Croatia (w)The Croatian national team held qualification games for the upcoming European Championship before the Volleyball World Cup.
It is worth noting that the Balkan national team overcame all the stages superbly. She was able to take the second place, gaining 14 points with Romania, and losing to the "tricolor" only by the difference of the parties. In recent meetings, the "checkers" were able to defeat Israel and the Faroe Islands, which, in fact, provided the Balkan team with access to the continental championship.Statistics and figures:
- Poland is the favorite of the meeting;
- Poland has a 3-match losing streak;
- Croatia won 4 out of 5 matches;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of Poland.
Forecast Poland has not been playing so confidently lately that we can say that it will win 3-0. Most likely, the Balkan national team will be able to win at least a set.
The quotation for this event is very solid.
