As part of one of the matches of the 1/8 finals of the men's European Volleyball Championship, volleyball players of the national teams of Serbia and Turkey will come face to face. Which of the rivals will get the victory in this confrontation?
Serbia
The Serbian squad was able to win four victories at the current European Volleyball Championship. "Tricolor" in face-to-face meetings were able to beat such teams as Belgium, Ukraine, Portugal and Greece. The only defeat at the tournament at the moment took place in the game with Poland, when the Serbs lost to their opponents in 5 sets, although they could have won in four games. Such results led Serbia to the second place in its group.
Turkey
The Turkish national team made a great start to the group stage of the European Championship, managing to beat Russia and Spain in four games, and also coped with North Macedonia in three sets. But then the Turks, frankly speaking, were not impressed. They also have failures in meetings with the Netherlands and Finland on their account. It was two defeats in the group stage that did not allow the Turks to rise above the third position in their sextet.
Statistics and figures:
- Serbia is a clear favorite of the meeting;
- Serbia has 4 wins in 5 matches;
- Turkey has lost 2 meetings in a row;
- The rivals have played each other twice in their history;
- In the last match, Turkey was stronger than the opponent-3: 1.
Forecast
I think that Serbia is able to defeat the opponent with a score of 3:0 or 3:1. The end of the group stage performed by the Turkish team turned out to be blurry. I do not believe that Serbia can lose to Turkey, which is not in the best shape.
