Bulgaria and Serbia will meet in the 2026 Volleyball Nations League on Sunday evening. These two sides played to five sets in a warm-up game last month and our prediction is that this match will go deep as well.
After an upset defeat to Belgium in their opening match, Bulgaria have bounced back impressively, beating Iran and Argentina in their last two games ahead of this one.
Aleksandar Nikolov has been excellent for the team in this competition, currently on 75 points, including five blocks, which sees him sitting at the top of the tournament’s leading points scorer standings.
Bulgaria have won seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions and beat this opponent in that friendly last month 3-2.
Meanwhile, Serbia kicked off their 2026 VNL campaign with back-to-back 3-1 wins over Argentina and Belgium before falling 3-0 to Brazil on Saturday evening.
Veljko Masulovic leads the team in points with 43, including five blocks. Lazar Marinovic their second highest scorer with 31 points in three games, six of which have come from blocks.
Serbia have won four of their last 10 matches in all competitions and six of their last seven against this opponent.

Our Bulgaria vs Serbia Prediction
Bulgaria has made a solid start to their 2026 VNL season, bouncing back from an opening-day defeat with victories over Iran and Argentina, during which they only dropped a single set.
Serbia proved no match for Brazil in their last match, but they will fancy themselves here, given their record against this opponent. However, Bulgaria will certainly be no pushover and we feel this match could easily go to a deciding set. Our Bulgaria vs Serbia prediction is over 173.5 points.
