The women's national teams of Hungary and Russia will come face to face to find out who is worthy of bronze medals. On whose side will luck turn out to be?
Hungary (w)
In the group stage, the Hungarians suffered only one defeat, and in addition to it they drew once and won twice. The five points scored allowed Hungary to get out of the group from the second place. In the quarterfinals, the opponent was the national team of the Netherlands, which was able to impose a fight, but eventually lost (11-14). But in the semifinals, the Hungarian women were already in the role of losers, who could not get the upper hand over the Spanish women (6-8).
Russia (w)
The Russians suffered two defeats at the Olympics, both from the United States. If at the group stage the loss was big (5-18) and did not become critical, because Russia continued on the way to the medals, winning two more victories and a draw, then in the semifinals there were all chances to cope with the Americans, but the failed third and fourth periods predetermined the outcome - a loss of 11:15 and Russia claims a maximum of bronze.
Statistics and figures:
- Hungary (w) lost in two games out of six;
- Russia (w) lost in two matches out of six;
- In the group stage, Hungary and Russia played 10-10.
Forecast
In the game with the United States, Russia looked very good, but failed in the end. If the same attitude can be transferred to the reporting confrontation, then the bronze will be in your pocket. I think that the Russians are not discouraged, but on the contrary, they are eager to cover the defeat with a victory and take the medals.
