Match Preview
These two sides locked horns recently in the World Championship 2025 finals where Italy won the golden medal. Can Bulgaria get their revenge in the VNL?
Bulgaria Struggling in 2026
Bulgaria had a lot of success in recently held World Championship in late 2025 where they secured a historic silver medal, but failed to carry over good form to the new edition of Nations League, currently sitting in 9th place with a 2-2 record.
After suffering a surprising 3-1 defeat to Belgium in the opening round, they earned two consecutive victories against Iran 3-0 and Argentina 3-1 in mid-June.
In their most recent appearance, the Bulgarians were tagged huge favorites against Serbia but ended up losing this encounter without winning a single set, all three being very tight.
Italy Need to Step Up in the VNL
The Azzurri have had a lot of success on the big stage in the last 12 months, first finishing second in last year’s Nations League 2025, losing to Poland in the grand finals, then successfully defended the World Championship title in Manila with a win over Bulgaria.
The new VNL campaign started with a surprising 3-2 defeat against underdog France but bounced back by beating Germany 3-1 and Turkey 3-0 in mid-June.
In their most recent clash, which was an intercontinental derby, Italy outplayed the United States of America 3-2 as light underdogs.
Verdict
Even though both sides had a lot of success in the last couple of years, Italy have consistently dominated this head-to-head matchup, winning the last 10 encounters. I expect them to extend this streak on Wednesday.
