As part of the consolation match for the 3rd place in the Men's Volleyball League of Nations, France and Slovenia will play against each other. Which of the opponents will win the bronze medals of the competition?
France
According to the results of the regular championship, the French national team was able to win the fourth place in the standings of the main tournament. According to the results of the performances, the French got into the "Final Four", where they performed far from the best way. In the semifinal meeting, France met with Brazil, where it could not impose a fight on the opponent in any of the games, losing to the opponent with a score of 0:3. Thus, the Brazilians were able to take a confident revenge on their opponent for losing in the regular championship, leaving France without a decisive match.
Slovenia
Slovenia was able to take third place at the end of the main draw of the tournament, but in the semifinal meeting lost to Poland on all counts, and just like the French, could not win a set against an opponent, showing very mediocre volleyball. The Slovenian team will try to break away from France and show their best game in this meeting, and only time will tell whether it will be possible to do it or not. At least, the Slovenes are not the favorites of the bookmakers.
Statistics and figures:
- France is the favorite of the meeting;
- The French have 3 wins in 5 games;
- Slovenia was able to win 4 times in 5 matches;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 3: 2 in favor of Slovenia;
- Slovenians have won twice in 5 games.
Forecast
We will make the most accurate bet in this game. It seems that the Slovenes and the French will give out a really effective volleyball, and this meeting will most likely not end in three sets. We bet on the passage of the betting total, which assumes four more or less effective sets.
