Neither Bulgaria nor the Czech Republic has shown consistent performance lately, making their upcoming matchup hard to predict. Bulgaria is already eliminated, while the Czech Republic's playoff hopes are slim. Expect a close contest, where betting on over 173.5 points seems the most promising choice based on recent trends and both teams' playing styles.

Match Preview 


The Czechs won the most recent head-to-head meeting in June last year, but both sides are in very poor shape right now so this one might be a more even contest in Belgrade. 

Bulgaria Hoping to End Season on a Positive Note 


Bulgaria have been one of the biggest disappointments in the Nations League 2026, collecting just two victories from nine matches and falling out of the playoff race well before the final week. 

Week 2 was particularly difficult as they opened with three consecutive defeats against Poland (3-0), Thailand (3-0) and Canada (3-1) before finally snapping the losing streak with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Ukraine. 

Their Week 3 opener brought another disappointing display, with the Bulgarians suffering a one-sided 3-0 defeat to hosts Serbia after scoring just 60 points across the three sets. 

Czech Republic Most Likely Out of Playoff Race 


The Czech Republic now need a near-perfect finish to have any realistic chance of reaching the Nations League final tournament. They enter this match 11th in the standings with a 4-6 record. 

Week 2 ended on a positive note with a dramatic 3-2 victory over the Dominican Republic after heavy defeats to Italy, the United States and Japan, but they have struggled to build any momentum since. 

The Czechs showed promise against Germany by taking the opening set before losing 3-1, then followed that with a disappointing straight-sets defeat to the Netherlands on Thursday. 

Verdict

Czech Republic looked disastrous on Thursday in their convincing loss against the Netherlands, probably knocking them out of the playoff race. I don’t view them as favorites as Bulgaria and we might get a long match here. Over 173.5 points is the pick.
