The women's national teams of Norway and Sweden will meet in a face-to-face confrontation to find out who will get the bronze medals of the OI-2020. On whose side will luck turn out to be?
Norway (w)
The Norwegian women performed incredibly powerfully at the Olympics until the 1/2 final stage, winning six victories in six duels. But in the same semi-final, Norway was unable to continue the fight for the highest standard medals, losing to Russia with a score of 26-27. The reliable game of the Russians in defense led to a negative result for Norway, which forced the Norwegians to attack from not the most convenient positions, as a result of which the lion's share of shots fell into the frame of the goal or even missed the goal.
Sweden (w)
But the Swedes can not boast of such a confident performance, because they made two misfires at the group stage with three victories, although there was only one defeat. Then "tre krunur" coped with South Korea in the quarterfinals, scoring 39 times with 30 missed, but in the semifinals they came off the course, losing to France in an equal meeting (27-29). In the duel with the French women, the leader was constantly changing, and the match itself was accompanied by a large number of mistakes, of which the Swedes made more in the end.
Statistics and figures:
- Norway (w) has six wins with one loss;
- Sweden (w) won in four matches out of seven;
- Norway (w) won against Sweden (w) in the previous three face-to-face battles.
Forecast
Norway has made mistakes with Russia for several games ahead, so in the reporting game it is necessary to demonstrate its level again and win, which, I think, it will do.
