China and Turkiye will meet in their opening match in Week 2 of the 2026 FIVB Men’s Volleyball Nations League on Wednesday. Filenin Efeleri have dominated this matchup over the past decade, and we’re going for them to come out on top here as our main match prediction.
After suffering three consecutive defeats to Slovenia, Ukraine and Japan in Week 1, China ended its home tournament in Linyi with a morale-boosting 3-0 victory over Cuba.
Wen Zihua was the team’s standout performer in Week 1, finishing on 60 points (ninth in the top scorer standings. Bing Wang is on 55 points in the competition, including three blocks.
China are 14th in the standings and have only won two of their last 10 matches in all competitions. They have lost four of their last five games against this opponent.
Meanwhile, Turkiye faced a tough opening week schedule, but came out of it fairly well, notching up victories over France and Canada, while losing to Italy and the USA.
Filenin Efeleri’s attack was spread across multiple attackers rather than relying on one dominant scorer. Adis Lagumdzija leads the team with 54 points, including an impressive six points off serve.
Turkiye are in 11th place in the standings with a 0.933 SPR. They have won six of their last 10 matches in all competitions.

Our China vs Turkiye Prediction
China struggled to make the most of their home advantage in Week 1, losing each of their first three matches of the competition before finally notching up a victory over Cuba in their final game.
Türkiye had arguably the toughest schedule of Week 1, facing four teams ranked in the top 11 in the world. They came out of that with two big wins, and we feel they will carry that momentum into this match against an opponent they have dominated over the past decade. Our China vs Türkiye prediction is Türkiye wins.
