In Kraljevo, Serbia will be the hosts of Pool 10 in which are Belgium, Russia and Turkey. Until now, the European champions showed that they are in good condition and for now they have only one loss from Week 1 when they played against Brazil. After that match, they scored four wins in a row. Tijana Bošković is officially the best spiker on VNL with 50,59% in attack (98 points).
On the home soil, the most important match will be against Turkey. Teams will play the Balkan derby and that match is also scheduled for Thursday. Both teams have a score in VNL 5-1.
Pool 11 will be played in Bangkok, Thailand will host the Dominican Republic, Germany and USA. After two weeks USA are on the top of the standings with 16 points with the score of win/loss (5-1). They had a bad day in the second match of the Week 1 against Turkey who defeated the team of Kiraly in the tie-break. After that, they played like before. Will Germany or Dominican girls come to their second wins at the competition? Will Thai spectators help their team to jump on the better position at the standing after this week?
Interesting, Louisa Lippmann from Germany and Brayelin Elizabeth Martinez are on the third and fourth place of the best scorers in VNL with 114 and 106 points and their team have only one win!
