These teams have left a good impression in this competition, but they were unlucky so they do not have a lot of room for mistakes and it will be difficult for them to qualify for the Olympic Games, but in theory they still have a chance. Japan lost two games against direct rivals from Asia and they are in a difficult position. But they play better in this competition as hosts, and they will give their best in the last three games. Australia played some good games because of good performances by their opposites Edgar or Carrol, but their receivers are not good enough. Walker had a bad season at ACH, Roberts is very dangerous only with ideal reception, because he plays fast, and with bad reception he is an average receiver. Zingel is an important middle-blocker, but a lot here depends on the opposites. Teams like that do not get my confidence, and Japan, on the other side, have a lot of possibilities in the offense, great defense and home court which gives them even more energy and they should be the favorites here. Last year, Japan won 3-1 at the World Cup, they had a high advantage in the third set for 3-0 win and lost 25-27, but they easily finished the game in the fourth set. Australia can win today only if Edgar scored over 30 points, but Japan's volleyball simply seems better.
