A guaranteed medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics is up for grabs when Poland take on the United States in the semi-final of the Men’s Volleyball competition on Wednesday afternoon. The winner of this match will face either Italy or France for the gold medal in the final on August 10. Let’s get into this crucial match prediction.

Poland kept their hopes of returning to the Olympic podium for the first time since 1976 by overcoming Slovenia 3-1 in the quarter-final of this competition on Monday afternoon. 

The White and Reds looked by far the better side in that contest and despite giving up the second set, they rallied excellently to wrap up the match in the fourth set without conceding more than 20 points in sets three and four. 

The Poles' only loss here in Paris was against the formidable Italians and their recent record currently stands at eight wins and just two losses in their last 10 matches in all competitions. 

Poland have won each of their last three matches against their upcoming opponents dating back to the Nations League in 2023. 

Meanwhile, Team USA are still in contention to add to the three gold medals they earned in the 1984, 1988 and 2008 editions of the Olympics and are still unbeaten in this competition after overcoming Brazil 3-1 in the quarter-final on Monday. 

During the group stages, USA Volleyball beat Argentina, Germany and Japan and now have a record of seven wins and three losses in their last 10 matches in all competitions. 

While Poland have been the dominant side in this encounter in recent times, the USA have been one of the standout performers in Paris this year and cannot be ruled out of this contest.
