France vs Serbia Live Stream & Tips – Serbia Underestimated in the Volleyball Nations League 2026
Serbia's volleyball achievements this season are being underestimated. While France have shown improvement in Week 2, both their wins required five sets, suggesting vulnerability. The key recommendation is to support Serbia with a +1.5 handicap, given their consistent performance and the odds undervaluing their chances. Serbia deserves more respect and could outperform expectations against France.

Match Preview
France have started to recover after a difficult opening week, while Serbia continue to exceed expectations and remain among the biggest positive surprises of the Volleyball Nations League 2026.
France Underperforming in 2026
France were hoping for more than just three victories after opening six rounds in the Volleyball Nations League 2026, currently sitting in 13th place.
They had a strong start to the new campaign by defeating the reigning world champions Italy 3-2, but then suffered three defeats in a row to Canada 3-1, Turkey 3-0 and Germany 3-1 to wrap up Week 1.
Some improvements have been seen so far in Week 2, earning two back-to-back five-set thriller victories against Iran and Cuba to keep playoff hopes alive.
Serbia Continuing to Silence the Doubters
Serbia are one of the most pleasant surprise packages in the new Volleyball Nations League 2026 campaign, claiming four victories in their opening six rounds despite facing some tough opponents.
They were tagged underdogs in both of their first two matches against Argentina and Belgium, but both encounters ended in their favor 3-1, before suffering a 3-0 defeat against table leaders Brazil.
Serbia bounced back in the fourth round by defeating silver medalists from the recent World Championship 2025, Bulgaria, in straight sets, but opened Week 2 with a somewhat expected 3-1 loss to unbeaten Japan.
Yesterday, the Balkan side were tagged underdogs against Cuba but claimed a well-deserved 3-1 victory to stay inside the playoff zone.
Verdict
Serbia deserve more respect for their accomplishments this season and I don’t think their chances to win here are as low as the odds suggest. France have improved in Week 2, but both wins required five sets, so I will back Serbia in a +1.5 handicap.
