Match Preview
Slovenia return to action with confidence after another strong home performance and a chance to strengthen their position near the top of the standings. Bulgaria also arrive in good spirits after a major upset victory, making this one of the more interesting matches of the current Volleyball Nations League round.
Slovenia Looking to Continue Their Strong Run
Slovenia had a good run in the Nations League last season, making it to the final tournament, then beat at that time reigning champions France, while being eliminated in the semifinals by Italy 3-1.
They enjoyed a strong start to the 2026 campaign as well, claiming three consecutive victories against China 3-2, Poland 3-2 and Cuba 3-2, all three games ending with the same result.
Slovenians were tagged underdogs in the fourth round against unbeaten Japan, won the first set but ultimately got beaten 3-1.
They returned to winning ways yesterday, beating Canada 3-1 in front of the home crowd and moved up to 4th place.
Bulgaria Still out of the Playoff Zone
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 consistency to the new edition of Nations League, currently sitting in 9th place with a 3-2 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 the final Week 1 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.
They returned to winning ways yesterday with a huge 3-2 victory against the reigning world champions Italy, dominating the tiebreaker 15-9.
Verdict
Slovenia have been very reliable in front of the home crowd and looked convincing in yesterday’s 3-1 win over Canada. Bulgaria earned a massive result against Italy but have struggled for consistency throughout the campaign, so backing Slovenia in a –1.5 handicap looks like the best bet.
