Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Women's Volleyball Nations League match.
Poland continue their pursuit of Italy in the race for top spot in the overall standings. Up next is a matchup against South Korea — a prime opportunity to collect straightforward points, as the opponents currently sit second from bottom with only four points on the board.
South Korea (women)
South Korea have had a disappointing campaign. Despite playing only eight matches, they have managed just one win and four points. At this stage, their hopes of recovery appear well out of reach. In their most recent outing, South Korea were comprehensively beaten by Turkey (11:25, 13:25, 17:25), a result that laid bare their vulnerabilities. The worrying part is that their next opponent is even more formidable than the Turks.
Poland (women)
Poland are enjoying a superb run of form. They have won five matches in a row, showing no signs of slowing down. This streak includes impressive victories over strong teams such as Germany (25:16, 25:16, 25:20) and the USA (20:25, 25:20, 25:17, 25:18).
South Korea (women) vs Poland (women) Prediction
There is little reason to expect a close contest in this fixture. The current standings highlight the clear disparity in quality. For Poland, this should be a straightforward match resulting in a commanding win.
