As part of one of the group stage meetings of the women's World Volleyball Championship, the volleyball players of the national teams of South Korea and Croatia will come face to face. Which of the rivals will be able to win in this confrontation? Our sports portal evaluates the opponents' chances of success.
South Korea (w)South Korea has been performing extremely poorly in all tournaments lately, losing from match to match at all major international competitions.
It is worth noting that the Asian team lost all 4 meetings of the volleyball World Championship, and did not take a single set in them. The team lost in face-to-face meetings to the Dominican Republic, Turkey, Poland and Thailand. As a result of such a game, the Asian team ended up on the last sixth line, and has no chance of reaching the next round of the competition.Croatia (w)
The situation is similar for Croatia, which also lost in four games.
She successively lost to Poland (1:3), the Dominican Republic (0:3), Thailand (0:3) and Turkey (0:3). The only difference from South Korea is the set won in the confrontation with the opponent in the face of the Poles. Croatia occupies the fifth place in its group, and even a victory will not help the "checkers" to climb higher on the tournament ladder. Statistics and figures:
- Croatia is the favorite of the meeting;
- South Korea lost 9 previous matches with the same score 0:3;
- Croatia has a 4-match losing streak;
- Previously, the rivals did not meet with each other.
Forecast I think South Korea will be able to win at least a set in this match.
In this game, the opponents will fight for points, and this fact will help them break through the betting total, which is set for this meeting.
