It's like this
Front-runner:Serbia.There isn't much to say.Anything less than gold medal will be considered as a failure.
Medal contenders/Title threat:Croatia,Montenegro,Hungary,Italy.The traditional powers.They will fight for a medal,hoping for a Serbia's bad day to include the gold one.
Semifinal/Medal threat:Greece,Spain,Australia,USA.A traditional power-Spain- but abstinence from success through some years,3 competitive teams with lows and highs
looking for the upset.
Brazil has improved a lot,it is the home team but it is difficult to advance further.Not impossible,though,
Japan and France may fight had,but......
On the first group,places 1-2 seem locked for Serbia+Hungary
Greece and Australia will compete for the third place.
On the second group France doesn't seem able to avoid the last spot,while beyond the other five teams almost any combination seems possible,ok maybe Spain and USA
won't be at first 2 places together,but each of theam can advance leaving one of the other 3 favourites out.
Agree?
