The Netherlands take on the Czech Republic in Pool C of the 2023 Men's European Volleyball Championships. The top four qualify for the final round and going into this game, the Netherlands are in third position with their opponents in fourth. Both teams have three points from their first two games and are clear of the other two sides in this pool (Denmark and Montenegro) who are both yet to earn a point. Both of these countries therefore look to have a good chance of qualifying, especially as their match against pool leaders Poland is out of the way. The Netherlands are ranked 11th in the world and that's ten places ahead of the Czechs. Their campaign began with a win over Montenegro, winning in straight sets. Then they took on the world number one ranked side Poland and despite winning the second set,  lost 3-1.

The Czechs started Pool C with a straight sets loss to Poland but they were victorious in their second match to boost their qualification hopes. That win came against Denmark but it was a bit of a struggle at times. The first set was won but the second lost and the third was only won 29-27. A 25-22 win in the fourth round sealed victory and with a game against Montenegro to come, they should be in the final round regardless of how this match goes. Their form before this tournament began wasn't good with three out of four matches lost. The Netherlands did well to take a set off Poland and we select them to get a win over the Czechs.
