Poland vs Iran Prediction: the Iranians are Eager to Beat the World Champions for the Third Time

The Iranians have already beaten the Poles twice in a row. It looks like it will not be volleyball, but a MMA bout.

Poland

The Poles lost only two matches in the preliminary stage - to Italy and to Iran. It's easy to distinguish these defeats - Poland lost to Italians with the second squad, but to Iran with the main lineup.

Out of 12 games Poland failed to block in two of them. Their block was never better than that of the playoff participants but the total of 17.5 blocks wasn't reached even in five sets.

In Poland's games with the top eight teams the lowest total of aces was nine, and the average with the playoffs contenders was 3.33 per game. The trend is the total of aces over 9.5 is likely to happen even in three sets. 

Iran

The Iranians worked hard to make the playoffs. In the third week, they were lucky - the Serbs had withdrawn, and they fought only Slovenia. Still, Iran lost four of its six games against playoff participants. Instead, they beat Poland and the United States.

In games with Iran and the top eight the total blocks of 17.5 didn't happen, and the average number of aces per game in duels between Iran and a playoff participant is equal to three and a half. This means we might see a 9.5 total of aces in three sets.

- a total aces over 11.5;

- a total points over 179.5.
