On September 4, Brazil will take on France in the quarterfinals of the Women’s Volleyball World Championship. Here’s an overview of this upcoming match.
Brazil
The Brazilian team has shown strong performance throughout this tournament. In the group stage, they defeated Greece and Puerto Rico easily. Their only challenge came against France, where they won in five sets.
In the Round of 16, Brazil lost the first set to the Dominican Republic but bounced back decisively, winning the next sets 25:18, 25:12, and 25:20. Brazil recently finished as runners-up in the Nations League, losing to Italy in the final. They are clearly eager for victory.
France
France began the tournament with a 3-1 win over Puerto Rico and narrowly lost to Brazil in their earlier meeting. They also secured second place in their group by defeating Greece, with set scores of 17:25, 25:21, 28:26, and 25:17.
In the Round of 16, France was seen as the underdog against China. However, they won in four sets after a competitive match, with set scores of 25:20, 27:25, 22:25, and 25:20. Now, they face Brazil again, a team they have already challenged this year.
Head-to-head
This year, Brazil and France have faced each other twice, with their latest encounter in the tournament group stage. Brazil was behind 0-2 in sets but managed a remarkable 3-2 comeback victory.
Prediction
While Brazil is the favorite, France has shown they can compete closely, as seen in their previous meetings. A spirited match is expected, and an upset is possible. My recommendation is to bet on over 3.5 sets in this match.
