Germany (W) vs Japan (W) Prediction
🔊 In their next Women's Nations League fixture, Germany will look to halt one of the most consistent teams of the tournament’s opening week. Japan have cruised through their first two matches, taking full points against both France and Ukraine. The German side also made a solid start, but a tiebreak loss to Ukraine exposed their lack of composure in crucial moments. Can Germany challenge the in-form favourites, or will Japan extend their winning streak?

- Germany Women have been beaten in 5 of their last 6 head-to-head encounters in the Women's Nations League.
Editorial Prediction
While Japan come into this clash as favourites, the opening sets in their matches against Germany are almost always tightly contested battles. The over 45.5 total points line in the first set has landed in 10 of the last 11 head-to-head meetings between these teams, and has also hit in each of their last six Nations League encounters. Given their history, Germany’s strong serving, and the high level of resistance they typically show early against Japan, the most reasonable prediction is to back over 45.5 points in the first set.
