Editorial Prediction
Argentina appear to have the upper hand, thanks to their recent head-to-head record and a more cohesive playing style. The Argentines have claimed five consecutive wins over Serbia, with four of those victories coming by at least a two-set margin. Serbia remain a dangerous side, boasting powerful serves and an imposing block, but this iteration of the squad still lacks consistency. Given recent trends and Argentina's superior team organisation, backing Argentina with a -1.5 set handicap looks like the most logical play here.
