Match Preview
Poland dropped just one set during Week 3 despite facing a very demanding schedule. Ukraine have nothing to lose after qualifying for the Volleyball Nations League final tournament for the first time in their history.
Poland Chasing Another Title
Poland have won two Volleyball Nations League titles so far, lifting the trophy in 2023 and 2025, including a convincing 3-0 victory over Italy in last year's final.
The Poles suffered only a couple of slip-ups throughout the campaign, finishing second in the group stage with a 10-2 record while riding a 10-match winning streak across all competitions.
Week 3 brought another series of outstanding performances, beginning with straight-set victories over fellow final tournament contenders Bulgaria and Brazil. Poland then defeated France 3-1 before wrapping up the group phase with a dominant 3-0 win against fifth-placed USA.
Ukraine Enjoying a Historic Campaign
Ukraine qualified for the Volleyball Nations League 2026 final tournament for the first time in the nation's history despite not being among the pre-tournament favourites.
The Blue and Yellows collected seven victories from 12 rounds, enough to finish above Bulgaria and Brazil, who ended with the same record but won fewer matches in straight sets.
Ukraine opened Week 3 with a 3-1 victory over Iran before pushing both Serbia and Turkey to five sets, eventually losing both matches 3-2. They responded in the final round with a crucial 3-1 win against Germany to secure qualification.
Verdict
Poland are the reigning VNL champions and look unstoppable after winning their last 10 matches across all competitions. Ukraine deserve credit for reaching the final tournament, but I am backing the Poles to win in straight sets.
