Both teams are playing for their place in the quarterfinals to continue advancing in the World Cup competition. Brazil, number two in the world ranking, competed in Group C in the preliminary phase, and finished undefeated with three wins without defeats. While the Dominicans, who hold the 11th position in the world ranking, playing in Group F, achieved a record of two victories, which came against Colombia and Mexico, and were defeated by China 3-0 in the last match of the group. "It will be a match where our Queens will give their all on the court, we know their style of play very well and they know ours, that's why I think it will be a match with many alternatives," said Marcos Kwiek, coach of the Dominican national team. He indicated that in a World Championship, no country gives anything to anyone, that's why you have to go out and look for every point and every set to finish with a victory, which would be great for the Dominican Republic. He maintained that the players feel in good spirits and physical condition for Sunday's match.
