Poland vs Germany Prediction: Polish national team won't be able to beat their opponents quickly

The first place of the Polish team surprised many people. It is possible that in the playoffs the Polish team will stop surprising, but it is unlikely to happen immediately. Stefano Lavarini's team is likely to get through the quarter-final stage, but not without difficulty.

Poland, under the leadership of new coach Stefano Lavarini, smashed everyone in the preliminary stage. Well, almost everyone - the team has ten wins and two losses. Poland lost only to the USA (in five sets, with three games in the balance) and unexpectedly to the Netherlands. In the second case, they seem to have simply underestimated their opponents.

In nine out of 12 matches, the Polish block was either noticeably stronger or simply outclassed their opponents. Of the three teams to which the Poles lost on blocks, one is called Germany.

The Germans also have a new coach, and his name is Vital Heinen. Germany made it to the playoffs with seven wins and five losses.

You can't say that the German team made any special impression - the Germans were just disciplined in taking what they had and giving back what they didn't. They lost to Brazil, the USA, China, and even Serbia. In short, Germany has zero sensational victories but just as many unjustified defeats.

The head-to-head match between Poland and Germany took place the last week, in which the Germans did not play well - the opponents were too strong. The team can take credit for this game - it ended after five sets and with the score of 17:15 in favor of Poland in the tie-break.

However, as we said, Germany was stronger on the block, did not concede more aces, and lost fewer serves. It was ruined by its mistakes and low realization of attack compared to the Polish.

The last four official matches between these teams ended with a total of at least 188 points.

The Poles, of course, are considered favorites, and it's hard to argue with that. However, the German national team is not the most convenient opponent for them, and with this opponent, the Polish national team has not been able to deal quickly for a long time.
