Iran and Argentina will be looking to secure their first points of the 2026 Volleyball Nations League when they meet on Friday night. Recent matches between the Iranian Leopards and La Selección have been tightly contested, which sees us leaning toward the points markets for our main prediction.
After failing to reach the final round last year, Iran have endured a rough start to the 2026 VNL, losing their first two matches in a row, 3-1 to Brazil and 3-0 to Bulgaria, respectively.
The Iranian Leopards have only scored 147 points after two games. Ali Hajipour leads the team with 28 points, including four blocks, followed by Poriya Hossein on 25, including three serve points.
Iran have split their last 10 matches, five wins and five defeats. They beat this opponent 3-1 in this competition last year, which was their third win in five against Argentina.
Meanwhile, Argentina lost their opening match of the 2026 VNL 3-1 to Serbia, but the scoreline does not tell the full story of the clash, as they were right in the contest throughout.
Luciano Vicentín was La Selección’s highest scorer in their opening match with 14 attack points, one block and two serve points, while outside hitter Fausto Diaz finished with 14 points.
Argentina have won seven of their last 10 matches, as well as two of their last three against this opponent in the Nations League.

Our Iran vs Argentina Prediction
Iran has struggled to make an impact in this competition so far, losing their first two games on the bounce, while Argentina also suffered defeat in their opening match, going down to Serbia in midweek.
Both sides will be determined to get in the win column here, but this is a tough one to call given how tightly contested matches between these two have been in recent times. There has not been a straight-sets win between Iran and Argentina in the last decade, and we feel this one could go to the wire as well. Our Iran vs Argentina prediction is over 178.5 points.
