In the match of the 1/4 finals of the OI-2020, the national teams of Sweden and Spain will meet face to face. Who will be stronger?
Sweden
The Swedes were a little short of winning Group B, even though they finished only third. In fact, there were a lot of chances for the first place, because three teams, including Sweden, scored eight points at once (Denmark and Egypt also), but due to the better difference between scored and conceded in face-to-face games between these three teams, Denmark became the best, then Egypt, well, Sweden was the third.
Spain
Spain also scored eight points in the group stage, but the density in group A was not the same as in group B, so this number of points was quite enough for the Spaniards to take second place. Spain made the only misfire in the duel with France, losing to it with a score of 31-36. It was thanks to this success that the French beat the Spaniards, gaining the same eight points.
Statistics and figures:
- Sweden has won four times in five rounds;
- Spain won in four out of five matches;
- Spain has won against Sweden in eight previous matches.
Forecast
One of the most equal pairs at the quarterfinal stage, so I suggest betting that the meeting will be productive.
