As part of the next match of the men's volleyball League of Nations, the players of the national teams of France and Italy will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation?
France
In the last match of the League of Nations, France was able to beat the United States in three sets. The match, by the way, turned out to be persistent and ended with a score of 3: 1 in favor of the French. At the moment, the "tricolor" are among the teams in the top four. If in the remaining games the French will avoid misfires, then a ticket to the final tournament for this team, as it seems, is secured.
Italy
The Italian national team is currently on the 10th line in the standings, with 5 wins in 11 games. It is worth noting that the Italians have not yet lost the chance to get close to the 7th line, but they can no longer count on getting into the TOP 4. "Squadra Azzurra" in the last meeting beat the Netherlands, having managed to defeat the opponent in four sets - 3: 1. Next up is France, which simply will not be.
Statistics and figures:
- France - the favorite of the meeting;
- The French have 3 wins in 5 games;
- Italy won three times in 5 matches;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 3: 0 in favor of France;
- France has a 3-match winning streak in games against the Italians.
Forecast
I am still confident that Italy will be able to cling on to a win in one of the sets. No matter how France plays, in some games it allows misfires, and the next match of the League of Nations will not be an exception.
