Yesterday Belgium had a great opening of this year's World League by beating Australia without losing a set. All the best players are in the team, this competition means a lot to them because they lost the Olympics and they can completely focus on this. For years Belgium has been right behind the very best, and this year they stand a chance for a good result, while all the strong teams are thinking about the Olympics. Italy lost yesterday to France, they're playing without Ngapeth. Blengini decided to go yesterday with Zaytsev at reception, and that can be a problem since he's a classical opposite. Lanza also isn't at his maximum because he has knee problems, and Juantoreno didn't even play yesterday. Vettori doesn't have such fast and precise shots like Bruna does, and at this point they don't look good so speculations appeared that Italy don't even want to go to the Final Six in Poland. The uninterested Italy don't deserve such low odds, even though I think they will play better today. But Belgium are tough opponents at this point, so this margin is at least five points too low and it could easily go into an over in four sets. All head-to-heads of these teams ended up in an over of this margin, and in all the important competitions in which the Italians were a lot better, and Belgium won two out of four head-to-heads.
