Saturday’s 2026 Volleyball Nations League action kicks off with Bulgaria taking on Canada. Matches involving these two teams in this competition have frequently gone beyond three sets, which sees us leaning toward the points market for our main prediction in this one.
Bulgaria have experienced a mixed start to Week 2 of the 2026 VNL, having pulled off a stunning victory over Italy on Wednesday before falling 3-2 to Slovenia 24 hours later.
Aleksandar Nikolov has been outstanding for the team in this competition. He is second in the leading point scorer standings with 143, just five points behind current leader Ferre Reggers.
Bulgaria are in 10th place in the standings. They have won five and lost five of their last 10 matches but have not beaten their upcoming opponents since a friendly in 2022.
Meanwhile, Canada’s only victory in this competition came against France in their second match. In Week 2, they have lost both games, going down to Slovenia and Ukraine (both 3-1).
Xander Ketrzynski has been the Canadian’s key contributor in this competition. The opposite spiker has racked up 83 points in total to date, including seven blocks and three aces.
Canada are in 15th place. They are on a four-match losing streak and have only won two of their last 10 in all competitions.

Our Bulgaria vs Canada Prediction
After pulling off a massive upset in beating Italy, Bulgaria were unable to follow up against Slovenia last time out. They are favourites here but have now dropped two sets in each of their last three games.
That will give Canada some confidence coming into this clash, since, despite only winning one match in the 2026 VNL, they have been competitive, notching up at least a set in every game so far. Our Bulgaria vs Canada prediction is over 174.5 points.
