Prediction
1 (Promoted) - Austria
2 (Promoted) - Slovenia
3 - Italy
4 - Japan
5 - Poland
6 (Relegated) - South Korea
It looks to be much of the same, as Austria and Slovenia will continue to yo-yo back and forth between the main tournament and this one. Italy will improve a bit, but not enough to disturb the top two spots. Japan and Poland are likely to fall in line at four and five (respectively). South Korea is the odd team out, as they look to be headed back down to Group B.
