Which of the rivals will be able to win in this confrontation? Our sports portal evaluates the opponents' chances of success.
Holland (w)The Dutch national team has already played 4 matches at the 2022 Volleyball World Cup.
It is worth noting the fact that the "orange" were able to win three meetings at the start, defeating such opponents from Kenya (3:0), Cameroon (3:0) and Puerto Rico (3:1) in face-to-face matches. In the match against Belgium, the Dutch did not look the best, and therefore deservedly lost to their rivals in four sets – 1:3. It will be difficult for the Netherlands to retain the second place in sextet A. Most likely, the team will finish in third place. Italy (w)
The Italian national team has already held four meetings at the Volleyball World Cup, and only once received a worthy rebuff.
It was a meeting against Belgium, which ended with a score of 3:1 in favor of the Italians, but could have turned into another line if the Belgians had won 2 or 3 sets. By the way, in the matches with Cameroon, Kenya and Puerto Rico, the Italian national team did not experience any problems, and the team leader Egon looked great as usual, scoring more points than the rest of the partners and players of the rivals. There is no doubt that Italy will win this meeting as well. Statistics and figures:
- Italy is the favorite of the meeting;
- The Netherlands won 4 meetings out of the previous 5;
- Italy has won 6 matches in a row;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of the Italians.
Forecast I am sure that the opponents will play 4 sets or more in this meeting.
In three games, the outcomes in such matches are not determined. Moreover, the Netherlands is playing on its own floor, with native stands that will drive the outsider forward.
