As part of one of the matches of the volleyball League of Nations, the players of the national teams of Slovenia and Bulgaria will come face to face. Will the Slovenes be able to secure a place in the Final Four?
Slovenia
The national team of Slovenia is currently located on the 3rd line in the standings of the men's volleyball League of Nations. This team has 11 wins in 14 meetings. It is worth noting that the "tricolor" managed to score 31 points, which so far allows the team to be among the participants of the "Final Four". The Slovenes in the last meeting confidently defeated the Japanese national team (3: 0), and before that in an incredible fight they fought with the United States, where they miraculously escaped from defeat, winning back match balls from their opponent (3:2).
Bulgaria
The Bulgarian national team is an absolute disappointment of the current League of Nations. This team at the tournament shows an extremely unpleasant game. The Bulgarians have only 7 points to their credit, which allows them to be ahead only of the hopeless Australia. Bulgaria has only 2 victories, which happened relatively long ago. It is unlikely that this team will be able to impose a fight on the opponent, given the fact that he played in the last meetings of the tournament.
Statistics and figures:
- Slovenia-the favorite of the game;
- The Slovenian national team has a 4-match winning streak;
- Bulgaria has lost 9 of its last 10 matches;
- 4 previous matches with the participation of Bulgaria ended with the result 0: 3 not in favor of the Bulgarian team;
- The opponents played 3 matches against each other;
- Slovenia defeated Bulgaria in the last face-to-face match with a score of 3:1.
Forecast
The Slovenian national team will deal with Bulgaria in three sets. This team is actively fighting for a ticket to the "Final Four", and therefore will not play cat and mouse with an opponent who shows extremely weak volleyball and does not claim anything.
