Germany struggled in their opening round against Slovenia, raising questions about their current form. Although a recovery and victory in the upcoming match are expected, bookmakers’ –24.5 point handicap seems unlikely to be covered by the team. The key conclusion: Germany should win but may not dominate by a wide margin. Bettors are advised to exercise caution regarding the high spread.

Match Preview 


Both sides opened the tournament with defeats, which was quite surprising for Germany, who on paper should have had an easy task against Slovenia. Which team will claim important points in Istanbul? 

Latvia Facing Another Tough Test 


The Latvian women’s volleyball team rarely makes it to the big stage, with this being only their second European Championship appearance. Their campaign started with a somewhat expected 3-0 defeat to co-hosts Turkey two days ago. 

The Latvians competed in the European League last season, claiming just two victories in six appearances to finish in 16th place. 

They did cause some trouble in the final round, beating Greece 3-2 on the road, which caused the opposition to miss out on the final tournament. 

Germany Looking to Bounce Back 


Germany were tagged huge favorites in their EuroVolley 2026 opening clash but suffered a surprising straight-sets defeat to Slovenia, although they scored 20+ points in all three sets. 

They competed in the Volleyball Nations League 2026, finishing a couple of victories short of a Top 8 placement with a 5-7 record, which saw them finish 12th. 

Germany played just one preparation match ahead of the tournament, beating Austria 3-1 on the road. Lina Alsmeier is their standout player at outside hitter and will probably be their number one scoring option.

Verdict

Germany had a very poor showing in the opening round against Slovenia. While I do think they will recover and win this match easily, I don't see them covering a –24.5 point handicap.
