As part of the next qualifying match at the OI in Tokyo, the basketball players of the national teams of South Korea and Lithuania will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation?
South Korea
The Korean team is a clear outsider of the upcoming confrontation, however, it intends to fight with Lithuania for getting out of the group. Whatever it was, but the Koreans lost the first meeting to Venezuela with a score of 80: 94, and now a victory in a face-to-face meeting with the Lithuanians will help the Asians to reach the playoffs of the tournament. But the problem is that Lithuania is considered a top basketball power, capable of showing stable results for a long time.
Lithuania
As for the Lithuanian team, at the moment this team was able to win one meeting. She defeated Venezuela in the first game, without particularly ruffling the nerves of her fans (76: 65). It is worth noting that in a duel with the South Korean squad, the Lithuanians are considered clear favorites, which they will try to demonstrate in practice. In the face-to-face confrontation with the Asian squad, Lithuania performs consistently well, crushing the opponent from one duel to another.
Statistics and figures:
- Lithuania is a clear favorite of the game;
- South Korea has won twice in 5 matches;
- Lithuania has a 7-match winning streak;
- The opponents held 3 matches between themselves;
- Lithuania won all the games;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the teams ended with a score of 86:57 in favor of the Lithuanians.
Forecast
South Korea will not escape from a crushing defeat, but this time, it seems, the team from Asia will not be able to lose by a 30-point margin to its opponent. I am betting in favor of the Asians, counting on their desire to impose a serious fight on the opponent.
