Match Preview
USA look ready to end their four-match losing streak against China across all competitions. The Stars and Stripes were one of the standout teams during the group stage, suffering just two defeats.
USA Dominated the First Phase
USA will be looking to avoid another quarter-final exit after falling at this stage last year. They impressed throughout the Volleyball Nations League 2026 group phase, finishing first with a 10-2 record.
The Americans recorded four straight victories in Week 2, beating the Dominican Republic (3-0), the Czech Republic (3-0), Italy (3-0) and Serbia (3-1), before opening Week 3 with a routine 3-0 win over Thailand. Their only defeat during the final week came against Poland, who edged them 3-2.
The Stars and Stripes finished the group stage strongly by defeating two fellow final tournament participants, overcoming Turkey 3-2 before sweeping Brazil 3-0.
China Hoping for a Surprise
China did not qualify for the final tournament through their group-stage results, finishing ninth with a 6-6 record, but booked their place as the host nation.
They also reached the playoffs last year, finishing in fifth place.
China's recent form has been disappointing. They ended Week 2 with defeats to Brazil (3-1) and Turkey (3-2), before opening Week 3 with a 3-2 loss to Canada. The losing streak ended with a 3-0 victory over Ukraine, but they followed that with defeats to the Dominican Republic (3-1) and Italy (3-2).
Verdict
USA were one of the most consistent teams throughout the group stage, while China struggled against stronger opposition in recent weeks. I am backing the Stars and Stripes to win in straight sets.
