The USA started the tournament in an excellent fashion, winning all five of their opening fixtures. However, they were not able to maintain that consistency.
The United States of America will be looking to get their season back on track after suffering a mini blip in their recent matches at the FIVB Volleyball Men’s Nations League. In the round one clash on Tuesday, the Americans will be taking on Germany. Both teams started the tournament on a good note but have not been at their best in the last few games. They are coming into this clash on the back of losing their last match. Hence, both sides will be keen to bounce back from these disappointments when they face each other on Tuesday.
The USA started the tournament in an excellent fashion, winning all five of their opening fixtures. However, they were not able to maintain that consistency and lost two of their last three games. As a result, they have fallen down to fifth in the standings and have 17 points from eight matches. On the other hand, Germany also started the tournament well, winning three of the opening four games. However, they lost their last four games on the bounce, which leaves them 11th in the table, with seven points from eight matches.
