I would expect a competitive game that could go both ways.
Nicaragua will be riding the momentum from their 2-0 start to qualification and their pitching has been great so far.
Taiwan should be the favorite but for some reason, they decided to not select a bunch of players that were on the team that won the Premier 12 tournament and opted for younger players. However, the home crowd will be a huge advantage for them still.
Unfortunately Wierer has been sick all the time since last year. She misses an average of 2-3 weeks per season due to illness. I don't know if this can be solved in any way during the Olympic season? Immunity medications, isolation from other people during the season?
I don't know what will happen with Vittozzi. However, the completly miss of starts throughout the all season will be a problem for her. Especially since a lot of younger rivals have appeared since last year.
