As part of the next qualifying match at the OI in Tokyo, the basketball players of the national teams of Croatia and Tunisia will come face to face. Which of the opponents will get the victory in the face-to-face confrontation?
Croatia
The Croatian national team got into the same group with Tunisia and Brazil. It is worth noting that the "checkers" have already managed to hold one meeting within the qualification, where they lost to the Brazilians with a large score of 67: 94. Whatever it was, but the Balkan team will try to do everything to defeat Tunisia and reach the qualification playoffs. To do this, Croatia just needs to overcome Tunisia and get a difficult team that took first place in one of the parallel groups of the competition.
Tunisia
The team from Tunisia also managed to hold one meeting as part of the qualification for the Olympic Games. In the face-to-face meeting, the Tunisian team lost to the Brazilian national team with a score of 57:83. In order for Tunisia to become the second in the group, it certainly needs to beat Croatia, which will be simply impossible to do. Moreover, the statistics of face-to-face meetings speak against Tunisia, which lost 3 meetings in three face-to-face confrontations with the Balkans, and is unlikely to be able to win in the fourth match.
Statistics and figures:
- Croatia is the favorite of the meeting;
- Croatia has won twice in 5 matches;
- Tunisia has suffered 7 defeats in a row;
- The rivals held 3 face-to-face meetings with each other;
- Croatia defeated the opponent in the last match with a score of 73: 46.
Forecast
The Croatian national team will be able to defeat its opponent with a confident score, but it is unlikely that this advantage will exceed 25 points. Given the fact that Tunisia resisted Brazil, it will keep a convenient head start for itself and impose a fight on the opponent.
