Serbia vs Romania

SERBIA - ROMANIA

 

Olympics Waterpolo

 

Romania in recent years was team on decent level of quality but on Olympic games in competition with Serbia, Hungary, Montenegro and USA, seems there wont be place for them in QF. The only team against whom Romania was successful in London was weak Great Britain. Other results: 8-10 against USA, 15-17 against Romania, 8-12 against Montenegro.

 

And now Romania will face with toughest opponent, Serbia who is first favorite for gold medal.

 

Serbian team so far won all games except meeting with Montenegro. Serbia have played the best game in previous round (11-6 against USA), so as tournament goes on seems to me we will see Serbia in best form.

 

If we don't count meeting with Great Britain which Serbs obviously did not take too seriously at the start and where in one moment British team had advantage 4-3, Serbia in all other games had strong start and from the first moment was dominant team. I expect will be the same in today's case, so I would rather bet on (-2.5) on first half line than on IMO high (-5.5) for full time.
