As part of one of the round-robin matches of the men's Volleyball League of Nations, the players of the national teams of the USA and the Netherlands will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this meeting? Our sports portal evaluates the chances of success of teams.
USA
The USA national team played its last matches at the Volleyball World Championship in August-September last year. The team reached the quarterfinals stage, where, however, it stumbled in the game with Poland, losing in a tie-break with a score of 2:3. At the last League of Nations, the Americans reached the finals stage, where they lost with a score of 2:3 to the French national team. In the upcoming match, the "orange" are the favorite of the meeting.
Netherlands
The Netherlands managed to reach the quarterfinals stage at last year's League of Nations. The team got to Italy, to which it lost without much chance with a score of 1:3. At the volleyball World Cup, the Dutch national team, in fact, failed. "Orange" reached the stage of the 1/8 finals of the tournament, where they lost with a crushing score 0:3 to the national team of Ukraine. In this match, the Netherlands are clear outsiders.
Statistics and figures:
- The hosts are the favorites of the meeting;
- The Stars and Stripes have 3 wins in 5 matches;
- The Netherlands won 3 out of 5 meetings;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of the United States.
Forecast
I believe that the opponents will be able to break the total on points in this meeting. I would also venture to assume that Orange will be able to win at least a set in this match. There will be at least four games in the match.
