USA - Bulgaria

USA is in tremendous form at the moment, winning the World League two weeks ago, beating Brasil 3-0 in semifinal and Serbia 3-1 in a big final, so I can say they're in their best form ever, having huge chance to win a gold medal in here. It's a time to dethrone Brasil also in Olympic and for me USA is the best team to do it right now. So far they have 2-0 record with a win over Venezuela 3-2 and Italy 3-1 and they still looks in great form, even tough first game was quite nervous and hard, aganst mediocre rival. I'm sure that this team, with Lloy Ball, Clayton Stanley and William Priddy in top form, is high motivate to win this group because Group A is really strong and they probably want to avoid Russia and Brasil in quartefinal.

On the other hand Bulgaria has huge problems and it's not a team from the last year, when they reached a bronze medal in World Cup as they're out of form, having a lot of problems with squad. Plamen Konstantinov, Kostadin Stoykov and Todor Aleksev are out from this game and today (like in previous game), Bojan Yordanov, who's a spiker, will play as a receiver and I really doubt he has a talent and skills in receiving, especially strong USA serves. In theory they have also 2-0 record, but both games were against mediocre Asian teams, China 3-1 and Japan 3-1, and in both of them they had a lot of problems, against a class worse players, than American's ones. I'm sure it's time for a first loss, so both plays - moneyline with @ 1.633 and sets handicap -1.5 with @ 2.20 (both at Pinnacle), looks more than great. Huge stake for me (overal seven units), because it's play of the month!
