Women's Volleyball World Cup Round of 16 schedule today, August 31: USA, Türkiye advance straight!

VHO - Today, September 1 in Thailand, the final two matches of the 1/8 round of the 2025 Women's Volleyball World Championship will take place.

The US women's team (first in Group D) will have a notable confrontation with Canada (second in Group E).

The US (red shirt) and Canada will create an exciting match.

The two North American teams met in the round of 16 with a balanced history of confrontation when each side had a victory in previous encounters, most recently at the 2022 World Championship, where the US won.

With the 3-2 victory over Canada at VNL 2025, the defending Olympic champions USA clearly have a bit more mentality.

The US women's team has a strong attacking style, a steady passing game and quick counter-attacks from the flanks. Their ability to change positions and pressure from the serve will be their strongest weapons.

Meanwhile, if Canada wants to cause a shock, they need to make the most of counter-attacks, maintain a stable passing game and defend well to break the opponent's rhythm of play.

The match is considered to be in favor of the US. The scenario could be a 3-1 or 3-0 victory if the US maintains a stable performance.

However, if Canada plays focused and takes advantage of every small error, they can completely make the match tense.

Türkiye is rated higher than its opponent.

This is the first time Türkiye (Group E winner) and Slovenia (Group D runner-up) have met at the World Championship.

Türkiye also won the confrontation at VNL 2025, raising hopes of an overwhelming match. Türkiye stood out with a tight style of play in passing, good blocking and powerful attacks from the midfield.

Slovenia, although rated lower, can still cause trouble if they take advantage of their flexibility, persistent defense and sudden pressure through serving or fast-paced combination attacks.

With the advantage of class, Türkiye is expected to win convincingly, maybe 3-1 or even 3-0.

However, if Slovenia plays persistently and maintains stability, they will still have enough strength to prolong the match to the final set and create a surprise.
