Women's Volleyball World Championship Round of 16 schedule today, August 29: Asian War

VHO - Today, August 29 in Thailand, the first two matches of the 1/8 round of the 2025 Women's Volleyball World Championship will take place, in which attention will be focused on the Asian battle between Thailand and Japan.

Thailand entered the round of 16 as the second team in Group A while Japan was the first team in Group H.

The Japanese women's team (in blue) is rated higher than Thailand.

With home ground advantage and enthusiastic support from home fans, Thailand will certainly enter the game with high spirits. This is a great advantage, especially in tense moments.

The home team will look to turn their attacks around quickly, especially from the back, and exploit the excitement of the crowd.

Although Japan is not the top candidate for the championship, it stands out with its technical playing style, persistent defense and difficult serve.

This will be a match where Thailand will take full advantage of their home field, but Japan has every chance to turn the tables if they can take advantage of gaps in passing and defense.

In the remaining match, Serbia (second in Group H) is aiming to defend the world championship title, continuing their journey to conquer the title for the third consecutive time.

Will the Dutch women's team have a hard time against Serbia?

Their opponent is the Netherlands (top of group A), a strong representative of Europe, with a lot of experience and playing fast football, capable of causing trouble for any opponent.

Serbia will enter the match with the mentality of champions, taking the initiative in attacking and controlling the pace of the match. The class of the main attackers and the ability to defend will be the key.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands need to exploit Serbia's flexible playing style and take advantage of tactical chaos at key moments.

If Serbia keeps up their form and spirit, a complete victory is within reach.

However, if the Netherlands can take advantage of their opportunities and Serbia's lapses in concentration, they could cause a shock in this round.
