THE PREDICTION
Coming off the back of their opening contest against Australia, United States duo Vicky Persinger and Chris Plys now face an Italy team desperate to get their round-robin campaign off to a winning start. Former youth Olympians Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosaner have every right to be considered dark horses for a medal in this event based on their performance in the 2021 World Championships, which saw them finish third-place in their round-robin group with a record of seven wins and two defeats, better than that of United States, albeit without Persinger and Plys competing. An extremely tight battle is expected between these two nations and it would be no surprise if they were separated by only one or two points come the final score. However, Italy’s recent form, specifically that off Constantini and Mosaner as a pair is enough to give them the edge.
