One of the standout matchups on Sunday at the 2026 Volleyball Nations League will see Germany taking on France. Both sides have identical records in the competition, which sees us leaning toward the points market for our main prediction.
Germany recorded one of the biggest upsets of the opening round by beating Canada, but they have lost both matches since then, going down 3-1 to Italy before a 3-0 defeat to the USA on Friday.
Tobias Brand is currently 13th in the leading points scorer standings in this competition with 36 points. Filip Jöhne is three places behind Brand in the standings with 31 points after three matches.
Germany have only won three of their last 10 matches in all competitions in last year’s VNL encounter.
Meanwhile, France kicked off their 2026 VNL campaign with a very impressive 3-2 victory over Italy but then lost their next two games unexpectedly to Canada 3-1 and Turkey 3-0.
Stephen Boyer currently leads the team with 49 points, fifth in the tournament’s leading scorer standings. Mathis Henno is in eighth place at present with 43 points, including three blocks.
France have also won just three of their last 10 matches in all competitions but beat this opponent in seven of eight encounters prior to last year’s defeat in this tournament.

Our Germany vs France Prediction
Both Germany and France kicked off their 2026 VNL campaigns with very impressive victories, but they have not been able to maintain momentum, losing their last two games ahead of this one.
While the Roosters are the favourites in this clash, they have been far from convincing and their loss to Turkey in straight sets makes it tough to back them with any confidence. Given how these two have fared, we feel this match will go beyond three sets. Our Germany vs France prediction is over 178.5 points.
