France will take on Cuba on Thursday at the 2026 FIVB Volleyball Nations League. Los Leones have yet to win a match in this competition, and our prediction is that they will struggle to change that record against the Roosters in this one.
After a very disappointing first week in the 2026 VNL, where they lost three of their four games against Canada, Turkiye and Germany, France kicked off Week 2 with a 3-2 victory over Iran yesterday.
The Roosters are one of only two teams with two players currently ranked inside the top 10 scorers in this competition, with Stephen Boyer and Mathis Henno on 86 and 80 points, respectively.
France are sat in 13th place after five games. They have won four of their last 10 in all competitions and three of their last four against their upcoming opponents.
Meanwhile, Cuba have endured a dismal 2026 VNL campaign to this point, as they are rooted to the bottom of the standings and the only team of the 18 participating nations yet to win a match.
Los Leones only scored 61 points en route to a 3-0 defeat to the USA on Wednesday evening. None of their players have surpassed the 50-point mark in this competition, with Alejandro Gonzalez leading on 49.
Cuba are on a six-match losing streak across all competitions. They were beaten by this opponent 3-2 in last year’s VNL.

Our France vs Cuba Prediction
Cuba are enduring a dismal 2026 VNL campaign, now the only team without a win after five games. More concerningly, they have lost four of those five matches without winning a single set.
With three defeats in five matches, France have been far from convincing in this competition, but given how poorly the Cubans have performed, the Roosters will expect to add another victory to their tally in this one. Our France vs Cuba prediction is France -1.5.
