Match Preview
This is one of the standout fixtures of the Volleyball Nations League 2026 Week 2. Slovenia arrive in excellent form after a dominant run, while are struggling to replicate their form from the World Championship 2025. We are in for a thrilling contest.
Slovenia Turning Home Form Into Results
Slovenia enjoyed a strong start to the 2026 campaign, claiming three consecutive victories against China 3-2, Poland 3-2 and Cuba 3-2, before finishing Week 1 with a 3-1 defeat to Japan.
They carried that momentum into Week 2, beating Canada 3-1 at home, followed by a hard-fought 3-2 win over Bulgaria after recovering from a poor opening set.
Against Brazil yesterday, they produced one of their most impressive performances of the season, controlling the match to secure a 3-0 win and move up to 2nd place with a 6-1 record.
Italy Inconsistent in Week 2
Italy started the new VNL campaign with a surprise 3-2 defeat to France but quickly responded by beating Germany 3-1, Turkey 3-0 and USA 3-2 to close Week 1 positively.
Week 2 brought setbacks, losing 3-2 to Bulgaria despite winning the first set 25-18, followed by a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Ukraine where they struggled badly in the final two sets.
They responded strongly in their latest outing with a 3-1 win over Brazil, showing improved control in key moments against one of the tournament favourites.
Verdict
Slovenia are thriving at home, while Italy are the reigning world champions who took a big scalp on Friday. I am predicting a long match, potentially a five-set thriller with a lot of points.
