On Friday, 21 June, a clash in the Volleyball Nations League will see Argentina take on Poland.
Argentina holds a decent chance of making it to the playoffs, especially since their next match is against the relatively weaker Bulgaria, which could provide them with easy points. In their last match, they defeated Turkey (3:0), but given Turkey's current slump in form, this result was expected. Argentina currently sits in eighth place on the leaderboard.
The Polish team has shown impressive strength in this tournament and is one of the favourites to win the trophy. They recently overpowered Italy (3:0), but fell to the inconsistent Brazilians (1:3). With all key players available, significant issues are unlikely to arise in this match.
Since 2019, the two teams have faced each other five times, with Poland winning all encounters (3:1, 3:0, 3:0, 3:1, 3:2).
The Poles have nearly secured their progression to the next stage, but to be absolutely certain, they should aim to take all three points and put any doubts to rest. I believe that if Poland approaches this game seriously, they can defeat Argentina with a Set Handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.51.
