Tokyo Olympics: Women’s Volleyball Dominican Republic vs USA Live Stream: Preview and Prediction

A spirited Dominican Republic will challenge the mighty USA in the second quarterfinal of the women’s volleyball at the Tokyo Olympics 2020. While Dominican Republic just made it through by finishing at the fourth place in Pool A, the Americans topped the Pool B with some outstanding performances.

Dominican Republic vs USA Match Preview

Dominican Republic have definitely performed way above their expectations. Even though their wins against Kenya (3-0) and Japan (3-1) were no fluke and were expected to make it to the last-eight, their performances against Brazil (2-3) and Republic of Korea (2-3) were praiseworthy. Only Serbia out-and-out dominated them (3-0). As a result, Dominican Republic accumulated 8 points from 5 games and deservingly made it to the knockout round.

On the other hand, though USA finished at the top of Pool B, they were taken to the limits by quite a few teams. While they managed to easily defeat Argentina and China (3-0), they had to hold their nerves in their victories over Turkey and Italy (3-2). In the process, the Americans also tasted an embarassing 0-3 loss at the hands of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC). USA need to iron out the chinks in their armour as any sort of mistakes in the knockout games can prove to be a major roadblock in their quest for gold in Tokyo.

Dominican Republic vs USA Match Prediction

It is expected to be a one-sided affair, although Dominican Republic have shown some great fighting spirit during the group stage. But these are the knockout rounds and one can’t rule out USA’s experience in such situations. On the contrary, Dominican Republic are playing just their third Olympics and are relatively new to the high-pressure games. So USA is winning this hands down with the margin of 3-0, though all the three sets will be tightly contested.
