China will take on Slovenia in their opening match of the 2026 Volleyball Nations League on Wednesday. CVA have lost their last four matches, and our prediction is that they will suffer defeat in this one as well.
China are one of the outsiders for the Nations League title this year, but they will be hoping to build on the significant progress made in 2025, finishing eighth in this competition.
CVA’s run last year ended against Brazil in the quarter-finals 3-1. Since then, they lost all three of their World Championship round-one matches against Brazil, Serbia and the Czech Republic.
China have never beaten Slovenia in this competition, losing 3-1 in both previous encounters in 2022 and 2023.
Meanwhile, Slovenia will be hoping that this is their year, having reached the semi-final in each of the last two editions but falling short of the medals. Last year they lost to Brazil in the third-place playoff.
They enter the Nations League following two warm-up matches against Serbia, which they won 3-1 each, taking their recent record to six wins and four defeats in their last 10 matches.
Fabio Soli has largely retained the team’s core while also introducing several younger players into the team setup. Rok Mozic is also set to return to the team in this match.

Our China vs Slovenia Prediction
Slovenia are one of the teams that many are expecting a big Nations League campaign from, having narrowly missed out on the medals in the last two years, finishing fourth on both of those occasions.
China had a breakthrough year in 2025, reaching the quarter-finals of this competition, but they have been poor since then, losing their last four matches. China have never beaten this opponent in this competition, and we feel they will lose this opening encounter. Our China vs Slovenia prediction is Slovenia to win first set + match.
