Match Preview
Both sides are very serious Top 7 contenders. France recently found great form after poor Week 1 showing, while Japan's results are quite intimidating.
France Finding Their Rhythm
France’s results in Week 1 were quite underwhelming, but it looks like this squad found a way to recover and rejoin the playoff race, currently sitting in 11th place with a 4-3 record.
After back-to-back defeats to Turkey and Germany in mid-June, they opened Week 2 with a dramatic 3-2 victory against Iran, then made it two in a row in another five-set thriller against last-placed Cuba.
Last night, the French locked horns against one of the most pleasant surprise packages this season, Serbia, which turned out to be their best performance so far, claiming a convincing 3-0 victory, third in a row.
Japan Holding a Perfect Record
Japan’s results and performances have been sensational so far, winning all seven encounters in the Volleyball Nations League 2026 and probably already clinching a spot in the final tournament.
In Week 1, the Asian side outplayed Ukraine 3-0, reigning champions Poland 3-2, China 3-1 and Slovenia 3-1.
They carried over this fantastic form to Week 2, beating solid side Serbia 3-1 on Wednesday, then had to work hard against Iran to secure a 3-2 victory after almost wasting a 2-0 lead.
Yesterday’s clash against the United States was one of their toughest tests yet, but Japan recovered twice during the match and eventually secured another 3-2 victory to extend the unbeaten run.
Verdict
Japan have needed five sets in two of their last three matches, while France are coming off three consecutive victories and look far sharper than they did in Week 1. I expect a competitive contest here and will back France to win in a +1.5 handicap.
