Match Preview
Both sides enter this final round with a 7-4 record, meaning only victory will seal a place in the final tournament. Poland eliminated Japan with a 3-1 win in late July last season, so the Asian side will be looking for revenge.
Japan Facing a Must-Win Test
Japan made a superb start to the 2026 Nations League, winning their opening six matches and putting themselves in an excellent position to qualify for the final tournament before their momentum faded in Weeks 2 and 3.
They entered Wednesday's clash against second-placed Brazil as underdogs and managed to compete in only one set before eventually falling 3-1, but ended their losing run with a 3-1 victory over Thailand on Thursday.
Japan were unable to build on that result, losing 3-1 to fellow final tournament contender Turkey on Saturday in a closely contested match where all four sets were decided by a margin of just three points.
Poland One Win Away
Poland enjoyed an outstanding Nations League campaign last year by winning the bronze medal, and another appearance in the final tournament is within reach as they currently sit sixth in the standings with a 7-4 record.
They impressed throughout Week 2 by recording consecutive victories over Bulgaria (3-0), Ukraine (3-1) and the Netherlands (3-1), with their only defeat coming in a five-set battle against Canada.
Week 3 began with a 3-1 loss to Turkey despite taking the opening set, but Poland responded immediately by upsetting the United States 3-2, producing one of their best performances of the tournament.
A second major upset in a row proved beyond them, as they were beaten 3-1 by one of the leading gold medal contenders, Brazil, on Friday.
Verdict
All signs are pointing to a very close match in the battle for a playoff spot. Both sides average more than four sets per match this season in the Nations League, so I expect a long contest with the potential for a tiebreak.
