The 2023 Women's European Volleyball League is the 14th edition of the annual Women's European Volleyball League.
The 19th edition of the Golden European League is a continental volleyball competition for senior men’s national volleyball teams of Europe.
The South American country lost all three Phase 2 matches they have played till now against the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy.
Japan were placed in Pool D. They had won four of the five matches they played in the competition to get 12 points.
While the home advantage might favour the Dutch side, their inconsistency might be a cause for concern.
There is not much to separate the two sides, as their respective performances in Phase 1 have been almost identical.
Even though Italy will be the slight favourites, tournament co-hosts, the Netherlands, cannot be taken lightly.
There are some tough teams present in Pool A and Puerto Rico had to face them all in their opening three matches.
