China is making generational changes, which led to a decline in the level of play. In the Nations League this season, they played without brilliance, and the start of this tournament began for them with a hard victory over Argentina, where they failed to achieve the expected gap in sets, one of which the team risked losing.
Colombia is a team of comparable class to Argentina, so we expect them not to lose heavily to China. In the match against Japan, they showed a high percentage of converting attacks and looked worthy even against such a formidable opponent.
The match against China is unlikely to be more difficult for Colombia than the meeting with Japan. If they looked confident against the Japanese team, we expect a similar scenario against the Chinese.
Our prediction: Colombia not to lose heavily. We recommend the “2 Hand (+22.5)” bet, odds 1.98
