We have a clash between an experienced and an inexperienced team and I always go for the more experienced squads. Even though the Finns will play their first game at the WC after 32 years, I think they're closer to a win than the Cubans. The Finnish setter Esto has more international games than 90% of the Cuban team and when we add it all up, the Finns have 200-250 more games between them. It's a huge capital in games like this. Another things is the tactical discipline as Finland rarely give away points while Cubans can be careless and are known for getting into "black holes". The Cubans tried to improve their form at the Panamerican Cup and still had to play the fifth set against Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Argentina's B squad. The Cubans are defending the silver medal here and are under more pressure as their minimal goal is to go through, while the Finns are under no pressure at all. The Finns will have a solid support from the stands as some 3000 fans are expected and this will be more like a home game for them. I also recommend Finland's win with a handicap for braver punters.
