On the one hand we have Puerto Rico, who are a well-experienced team who have already proven themselves and on the other side we have the Czech Republic, who are without top two players from last season. The coach has a task of building a new team. This will be their first game with this new team. You can't build a team overnight and I don't expect the Czechs to put up a great performance today. They are still far away from the team they could be, as the friendly matches showed. Puerto Rico secured a spot in the Olympics and that's big for them. Their form is much better than the opponents and they played more important games for far. They opened the key game in the race for Rio against Colombia brilliantly. You cannot even compare the experience and the kind of a game that stems from it between these two teams. They met twice in Grand Prix and each team won once. The Czechs will be without their leader Havelkova today and Vanzurova, who won 13 points back then. The very good blocker Sajdova won't be there either. Top libero Selihamer is out at PR but that's it. They came to Algeria early this week, their coach is extremely optimistic and this will be an ideal preparation for the Olymicps for them. The Czechs first need to build a team and then focus on results.
