China vs. Thailand

The Thai women have great control skills, combinations and hit a strong serve. They don't have any star players but dangerous as a collective.
Won't argue if you bet them to win outright. I'm just asking them to win a set here. They won 2 sets against tournament favorites USA and Russia losing both games 3:2 + though they lost 3:0 vs. China in their last match they gave the Chinese a run for their money - 3:0 (28:26, 25:20, 25:23).

Italy on paper slightly better than Russia. Thai Women underrated all tournament.

No show from the Thais. Looks like the worst performance of the tournament from them. I usually look for a 3rd set live play spot when teams are down 2 sets. When they have to give everything in the 3rd to stay in the match. Given they lost the first 2 sets Live oddsmakers give a higher live price for the 3rd set. Won't even consider Thailand in this match.

Books rate Serbia USA and China higher than Italy. Atm they are convincing me they are maybe better. Strong Italy.
