USA vs Turkey Prediction: The Turkish team has improved and can break the losing streak

For four years Turkish fans have been waiting for their favourites to finally beat those unbeaten Americans. Saturday is a good day for a win.

The Americans, as was expected, had four sets against Japan in the quarter-finals. They had a relatively easy game, only one of the three winning games.

Interestingly, the USA team won only one block against Japan - 10:9.

The Turkish women, meanwhile, beat Italy in three predictable zeroes. In the preliminary stage, they had 13 blocks in three games against Italy, and in the quarter-finals, they had 16 (!) blocks in the same three sets.

In early June, the USA and Turkey played five games. In the end, the Americans were the strongest.

An interesting story happened last autumn at the World Championship. Then the USA and Turkey first played a tense match in the group. The Americans won in four games, and the total score was 185 points. And then the same teams met in the quarter-finals. Fans were again waiting for a hard-fought game, but then suddenly, there was a blowout - 3:0 in favor of the US team and a total of 132. By the way, it was the only quarter-final that ended after three games.

However, the Turkish squad was changed by that time. In particular, Melissa Vargas was not present at that championship. Perhaps the Turkish player will help her new team to break their seven-match losing streak to the USA.

Of course, anything can happen, but there is no reason to expect another rout in the playoffs after a tough match in the preliminary round.
