Team USA will continue its mission to dominate the FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship when they take on European giants Portugal. The USA had an impressive outing on their opening day, sweeping aside Colombia 3-0 at the Mall of Asia Arena. However, it wasn't an easy game, especially during the first two sets. Still, a win is a win, and the Americans will know that they need a strong start against the Portuguese on Monday afternoon.
Portugal, on the other hand, had to battle hard to shock Cuba in Matchday 1. They dropped their first set 25-20 before rallying to take the next three sets. Outside hitter, Nuno Marques, was the show's star, scoring a match-high 19 points while recording a 65% attacking success rate. He also bagged two kill blocks and two aces to help the Portuguese win their first World Championship game in 23 years. A win on Monday could send a strong message to their rivals.

Our USA vs Portugal Prediction
The USA will likely be the betting favorite. They are the No. 5-ranked team and should sail to the knockout rounds. In fact, it would be unsurprising if they won all their games in the group. Another thing that gives them an edge against Portugal is their experience at the international stage. This will be their 18th appearance at this tournament, winning bronze in 2018 and gold in 2016. However, we cannot underestimate the Portuguese, who are hitting form at the right moment. They are on a two-game winning streak, including wins in their last three away games. They should fight hard to win one or two sets.
Our prediction for the USA vs Portugal: USA to win.
