Slovenia vs Canada Prediction: the New Coach Transformed the Leafs

Prediction for the Summer Olympic Games volleyball match between Slovenia vs Canada, which will take place on July 28th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Slovenia

The Slovenes are much stronger than Canada. The players have spent a dozen years together and are all pretty seasoned, so they still get decent results sometimes. Slovenia also beat the Canadians in the recent Nations League in a tough match. In five sets, they won 11:3 with only 12 service errors. Notably, 11 aces with 12 service errors is a pretty unusual ratio. It's unlikely the Slovenians will be able to repeat that performance.

Canada

Tuomas Sammelvuo has led a transformation and revitalization of the Canadian volleyball team. They won that match in May against Slovenia 14-4 on blocks. However, they had 16 service errors for every four aces, which isn't a great result.

The Canadians have been playing well lately, as evidenced by their recent success, which has put them on the fast track to Paris. The Russian league champion and Kuzbass's top coach knows what he's doing, so the Slovenians will likely have a tough time. But they still have to win, even though Paris is an unlucky city for them. They lost another European Championship final there.

Expert Betting Tips

Slovenia is a talented team, but they can be difficult to manage. It's hard to say whether it'll get going or not. On the other hand, Canada has learned a lot under Sammelvuo, not just how to jump high and shoot hard. The Finn taught them an old volleyball truth: you don't get two points for hitting hard. Plus, both the coach and his players have been to the Olympics before, while Slovenia is a psychologically unstable debutant. We think the Canadians will beat them if they get their reception.
