World's No. 11 Canada will take on the No. 72-ranked Libya on Friday night in Matchday 1 of Pool G. Canada will aim to bounce back from their disappointing group-stage exits in their last 10 Worlds appearances. The Canadians will be playing under the guidance of their new Italian coach, Giovanni Guidetti, although they'll be without Eric Loeppky and Arthur Szwarc. Still, they should give the Japanese a run for their money in the group.
Libya, on the other hand, will be making their long-awaited return to the world stage. This is their first appearance in 43 years, and only their second participation in this tournament. The North Africans earned their ticket to the World Championship after finishing third in the 2023 African Championship. Their head coach, Ghazi Khoubaa, will want to use this tournament to lay the ground for another qualification in 2027.

Our Canada vs Libya Prediction
All things point towards a dominant win for the Canadians. In fact, some major bookies have already closed moneyline odds for Canada while giving them a win probability of 93%. They have had tough luck in the group stage of this competition in previous years. However, things are looking promising for them this year, with Libya and Turkey being the obvious underdogs in the group. The Libyans don't have much experience on the international stage, which should favor the Canadians. We see the Canadians winning all their sets in Matchday 1.
Our prediction for Canada vs Libya: Canada on the -2.5 set handicap.
