[Volleyball- Euro] 5.9/ 19:30 Croatia- Slovenia

Slovenia is storming through these championships, proving the progress made by volleyball in their country in recent years. And ME is their absolute horse when looking at other games. In the last four tournaments, the Slovenes played in the finals three times and once ended up in the quarter-finals, often thwarting the plans of the Polish national team in the meantime. Another tournament has started and Slovenia is again entering some excellent level losing only a set in the first three matches. All we can do is look at the ladder and avoid the Slovenes as long as possible. But to type. My favorite has faced Spain, Finland and Ukraine so far. Only with the latter she lost a set, because in general the Ukrainians look quite good, but so far they lack some experience, especially in the end of the sets.
Croats are also solid. Three wins in four matches and a good starting position towards the end of the group stage. However, it seems to me that today they have a bitter pill to swallow, because the strongest team of group B is on their way.
I bet that the Slovenians will meet the challenge today and win very decisively, simply looking at the sports capabilities of both teams. The driving forces of coach Cretu's charges are Cebulj or Urnaut. Sedlacek definitely stands out for the Croatians, but the strength in the attack is distributed more to the whole team, which is a plus and minus, because in hard times there is no one to direct difficult balls to, which was shown by the clash with the Finns, where the team from the Balkans played very poorly party and there was no one to rely on for offensive power. In addition, many endless counters translated into a shameful defeat.
I predict that today there will be no pogrom in sets, but in important moments Slovenia will prevail. However, I protect myself and instead of playing a three-set victory for the Slovenians, I will try under 3.5 sets, because the Croats are a team that can really play when they feel the blood and if they happen to catch an advantage in a set, who knows if they will not pull it, although If so, I'd go for the runners-up in Europe.
