The French hosted the Nations League in 2018. They reached the final and lost. A year later, the Nations League playoffs were held in the United States, and the Americans lost the final. The Russian national team upset the hosts both times. Now they are temporarily absent, but that doesn't mean it will be easy for the Poles.

Poland's head coach Nikola Grbic remained himself even in the semi-final - he did not let Kurek and Leon in the starting line-up. Leon soon had to come out, but Kurek stayed on the bench until the end of the match. What six Poland will play on Sunday is a mystery.
Bookmakers consider the Poles as favorites, but at the same time, they offer very cautious odds of 2.1-2.2 on a USA victory. They remember that the Polish team was also the favorite in Katowice at last year's World Championships.

The Americans did not meet any stubborn resistance from the world champions in the semi-finals. Anderson walked wherever he wanted - 17 offensive points out of 25 attempts.
Well, the U.S. team will play in the Nations League final for the third time and the second straight time. Russia and France stopped their two previous attempts to take the title. Now they'll compete for the title with the hosts, and the hosts have never earned the title - Americans know that.
A month ago, these rivals have already met. It was in Rotterdam and ended with a three-nil defeat for the Poles. Grbic then, in his typical manner, put one backhand player on the court, then he got up and replaced him with another, then he was about to change the diagonal, and then he found out that he hadn't even announced Kaczmarek for the game.
