There is a suspicion that the U.S. national team is not ready to win another honorary title - a year ago it was intimidating, but now, after two losses with a dry score, no one will be afraid of it. The Turks in particular.

The Americans have already lost twice in this tournament, not only to Serbia, but also to Poland, and now they are in third place in their group. Moreover, they risk dropping to the fourth place if they lose to Turkey. And fourth place does not bode well for the quarterfinals.
No matter who Karch Kiraly has in the lineup against Poland, all of them have monstrous statistics. Drews is 12 of 32, Robinson is 5 of 22, Bajema is 2 of 9, and Franti is 2 of 13. And the American girls' head coach doesn't change her. If he doesn't talk about a double substitution, it means that he doesn't see the problem with her.
We specifically reviewed the USA-Poland game. Indeed, all American edges have a catastrophic number of own mistakes after quite convenient passes. It seems that without Larson and Bartsch, the team has indeed become weaker.
It's no coincidence that Poland was stronger than USA on the block - 12:4. Only in terms of aces the Americans won again.
Turkey
The Turks started the tournament somehow nervously - they lost to Thailand in five games, played the same five games against the Dominican Republic and Poland. But it seems that Guidetti's wards gradually calmed down and now they are winning in three zeros, although they are still playing the games on the balance sheet. They played two games against Canada on Wednesday.
It can't be said that Guidetti's wards are destroying their opponents with their block, but with such a game of American edges the minus handicap of Turkey on the block is inevitable.
Expert Betting Tips
So, Turkey's minus handicap on blocks is the default, since Robinson chose marriage over volleyball. For the sake of the World Cup, she could have postponed it until the fall.
