Match Preview
Bulgaria have been battling inconsistency in the Nations League 2026, while Ukraine are one of the hottest teams in the competition right now. We are most likely in for an entertaining match in Ljubljana.
Bulgaria Looking to Break Into the Top Seven
Bulgaria had a lot of success in the recently held World Championship in late 2025 where they secured a historic silver medal, but failed to carry over consistency into the new edition of the Nations League, currently sitting in 9th place with a 4-3 record.
Week 1 brought mixed results, with surprising defeats to Belgium and Serbia, while victories came against Iran and Argentina.
The Bulgarians started Week 2 action with a huge 3-2 victory against reigning champions Italy, followed by another dramatic five-set battle against Slovenia which ended in defeat.
They managed to recover yesterday by beating Canada 3-2 and keeping themselves in the race for a playoff position.
Ukraine Continuing Their Dream Run
The Blue and Yellow opened the campaign with an underwhelming 3-0 defeat to Japan but responded brilliantly by claiming back-to-back victories over China 3-1 and Cuba 3-0.
They couldn’t make it three wins in a row though, facing reigning champions Poland and eventually losing 3-2 after letting a two-set advantage slip away.
Ukraine’s best performances of the season have arrived this week. They stunned heavily favored Brazil 3-1 to hand the South Americans their first defeat of the campaign, then followed it with another statement result by beating reigning world champions Italy 3-0 to reignite their playoff ambitions.
A third victory in a row was earned on Friday, outplaying Canada 3-1 and moving up to 3rd place with a 5-2 record.
Verdict
Ukraine have become one of the most pleasant surprise packages of this season and look capable of competing with anyone right now. Bulgaria remain dangerous but have already dropped 14 sets in seven matches, which points toward another long battle. Over 178.5 points is my pick here.
