Italy: form and statistics

Having lost to the Belgians in the group stage, the team then played four matches in which they did not give up a single set to their opponents. They didn't play any balanced games in these four matches. And among the rivals, by the way, were Argentina and Poland.

Bookmakers, meanwhile, offer odds in the region of 1.7 for an individual Italian total over 86.5 or 88.5. It's the same with the total of the Bulgarians, and with a total over 170 points. Obviously, the offices are waiting for a stubborn and protracted duel. Is this the result of a deep analysis or just a desire to see a fight in the final?

Bulgaria: form and statistics

The Bulgarians beat the Czech Republic in four games in the semifinals. In those four games, they made 24 mistakes on serve with eight aces. We wonder how they are going to beat Italy, the best team of the championship at the reception? Take even more risks? Well, in that case, the Italians won't even have to do anything – Bulgaria will lose on its own and quickly.

The Bulgarians do not have a crazy bloc either, and I have already reported on this. In the five games played with the Americans, they outscored their opponents only seven times, and Italy has Romano in the second zone, not Garcia.

In general, the Bulgarian guys will not take the Italians either by submission, block, or defense. We doubt they'll be able to win even a set.

However, in June in the Nations League they managed to do it – there the score was 3:1 in favor of Italy. Then the teams managed to break 11.5 on aces, but failed to break 18.5 on blocks. In four batches. And the Italians were naturally stronger on the block 11:6. 1xbet gives 1.85 for a total under 18.5 blocks.
