Sunday afternoon in the 2026 Volleyball Nations League will see Belgium facing off against Iran. The last two matches between these sides have gone beyond three sets, which sees us favouring the points market here for our main prediction.
After an impressive start to their 2026 VNL campaign, beating Bulgaria 3-1, Belgium are now on a two-match losing run following consecutive 3-1 defeats to Brazil and Serbia.
Despite those losses, Aleksandar Nikolov is enjoying an impressive campaign, now on 49 points, including four blocks and three serve points, which places him fourth in the leading point-scorer standings.
Belgium have won six of their last 10 matches in all competitions, but lost their two previous competitive games against their upcoming opponents.
Meanwhile, Iran lost their first two matches of this competition to Brazil 3-1 and Bulgaria 3-0, but pulled off an against-the-odds victory over Argentina in their third game on Saturday morning.
Iran have two players currently ranked inside the top five point scorers in this competition in Ali Hajipour (3rd) and Poriya Hossein (5th) on 50 and 44 points, respectively.
Iran have split their last 10 matches, five wins and five defeats. This is the first match between these sides since the World League back in 2017.

Our Belgium vs Iran Prediction
Belgium made a statement in their first match of the VNL by beating the heavily fancied Bulgaria, but they were unable to follow up, losing their next two to Brazil and Serbia ahead of this one.
Iran, meanwhile, will be feeling a lot better after getting their first win of the competition against Argentina yesterday. We do not see a clear favourite here, and feel that this match will go beyond three sets. Our Belgium vs Iran prediction is over 178.5 points.
