Italy vs Poland Prediction: Home Arena is Not an Advantage

Prediction for the Championship of Europe game between Italy vs Poland, which will take place on September 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Italians are the reigning European champions. Two years ago, they won the gold medal in Katowice. Well, a year ago, and again in Poland, Italy became world champions, beating the hosts.

However, few bookmakers consider Italy a favorite for the final - most give equal odds for both teams to win. In 2017 in Poland, the Poles did not become champions; in 2019 in Paris, the French were left without medals.   

The Polish team is still impressive. Of course, Lavia is the smartest backcourt player in the world today, but he is the only one, and Poland has the most jumpers, the most receivers, the most bearded, the most obnoxious, etc. They also have two top diagonal players and no problems in the third zone. All in all, the Poles are quite capable of fighting hard.

Grbic's team loses serves less often and makes fewer errors on serve - 21 to Italy's 38. But both teams have the same number of aces - 49 each.

In June, the teams played in the Nations League with their main squads. The Italians were stronger on the block (9-8), Poland served more aces (7-4), and the teams committed 18 service errors each in four sets.

Can Italy win two European Championships in a row? They have already done so more than once, even in this arena. But winning the European Championship twice and beating the Poles in the final of a major tournament twice is a bigger challenge.
