As part of the next qualifying match at the OI in Tokyo, the basketball players of the national teams of the Philippines and the Dominican Republic will come face to face. Which of the opponents will be able to get a victory in the face-to-face confrontation?
Philippines
The Philippines plays in the same group with Serbia and the Dominican Republic. It is worth noting that in this trio, the Serbs were initially favorites, and therefore it was not difficult for them to reach the playoffs from the first place. The Philippines was able to give a fight to Serbia, but still lost to the opponent with a score of 76: 83, losing at the end of the game. However, the Philippines showed quite decent basketball, and in some parts of the match it seemed that they would be able to present a sensation, but the class still took its toll, and the "tricolor" turned out to be stronger.
Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic also lost in the first game to Serbia, but with a much more crushing score - 76: 94. Despite this fact, the Dominicans are the favorites of the meeting, which is difficult to agree with. Before the tournament, in the qualification for the OI, the Dominican Republic was able to win 2 meetings, having managed to defeat the Virgin Islands and Russia. A victory in this meeting will help the Dominicans to reach the qualification playoffs and compete for a ticket to the Olympics.
Statistics and figures:
- Dominicana is a favorite of the game;
- The victory of one of the teams in this meeting will allow it to get a ticket to the playoffs;
- Dominicana has lost three times in 5 games;
- The opponents have never played each other.
Forecast
In this match, I suggest taking a chance and placing a bet on the Philippines. Moreover, this team lost to Serbia with a smaller score. In this meeting, the Filipinos will try to score two points, which will help them reach the qualification playoffs.
