As part of the next match of the men's volleyball Olympic tournament, the players of the national teams of Russia and France will meet. How will the upcoming match end?
Russia
The Russian team does not cease to please us with its success at the OI in Tokyo. The most important thing for our team is to maintain the existing attitude and go forward to the playoff matches. It is worth noting that the Russians are in first place in the group, having an advantage over the nearest pursuer of 3 points. Prior to this match, the Sammelvuo team managed to win the meeting with Argentina and the United States (both meetings were 3: 1), and also defeated Brazil with a " dry " score.
France
The French national team, with its unsuccessful results at the start of the Olympic Games, does not show itself in the best way. In three games, the "tricolor" were able to win only one victory. It happened in a duel against Turkey. It is worth noting that this successful meeting of France was diluted by defeats from Argentina (2:3) and the United States (0:3). In the next meetings, France needs to beat Russia and Brazil and try to reach the playoffs. The team has no other way left.
Statistics and figures:
- Russia is the favorite of the meeting;
- The Russians have three wins at the tournament;
- France was able to win only 2 victories in 5 matches;
- The last meeting of the team ended with a score of 3: 1 in favor of the French.
Forecast
We put an increased total in this meeting. The opponents approach the face-to-face meeting in different emotional states. France is under pressure from the result, while Russia is thinking about a fourth victory in a row. This match will certainly turn out to be tense and will bring, at least, a passage of the grassroots total.
