Asian men's volleyball champions Japan will return to action on Monday morning when they take on Canada in an exciting Pool G matchup. Japan suffered a shocking 3-0 defeat against the No. 15-ranked Turkey in their opening game despite coming into this tournament as the group's favorites. Although it's still early to judge, this result puts pressure on the Asian giants to win against Canada or face elimination. It will be interesting to see how they respond to this setback.
Canada, on the other hand, came into this prestigious tournament in 10th spot in the official FIVB Power Rankings. They showed why they are the dark horses in the group after powering past Libya in their opening game. The Canadians let the Libyans take an early lead before storming back to win three straight sets and claim the victory. This result shows they can cause an upset against stuttering Japan and book a spot in the next round.

Our Japan vs Canada Prediction
History shows that we should expect a close game. These teams are 50:50 in their last 14 meetings, with the total rounds going over 3.5 in four of their last five clashes. Japan will be under pressure to win against the Canadians and defend their tag as the best-ranked team in Pool G. Conversely, Canada will know that a win against Japan would almost certainly guarantee their spot in the knockout stage. The Canadians will rest their hopes on the 27-year-old Vernon-Evans to produce another masterclass, having scored 22 points against Libya. We think Canada has the upper hand due to their impressive form.
Our prediction for Japan vs Canada: Canada for the win.
