The Americans have won three straight matches since starting pool play 0-2, finishing third in their pool as a result. Poland, on the other hand, finished tied for first in Pool B but tiebreakers have them as the second seed. While the U.S. is currently ranked fifth in the world in the FIVB rankings, Poland is second and with players such as opposite hitter Bartosz Kurek and setter Gregorz Lomacz they’ll be a tough matchup.
