Week 3 at the 2026 Volleyball Nations League continues with Iran taking on Slovenia on Friday night. Matches involving both these sides have been high-scoring affairs, which sees us leaning toward the points market for our prediction in this one.
Iran notched up their first win in Week 3 of the 2026 VNL, pulling off an against-the-odds victory over Germany yesterday to move up to 13th place in the standings with three wins and seven defeats.
The Iranians won 28% of their points on service against Germany and recorded 17 service errors. Ali Hajipour has been the team’s leading scorer in the competition, now on 134 points.
Iran has won just six of their last 15 matches in all competitions but have lost each of their last three against their upcoming opponents.
Meanwhile, Slovenia kicked off their Week 3 in this competition, also beating Germany, albeit on Wednesday evening. They are fourth in the standings with seven wins and two losses in nine games.
Nik Mujanović racked up a massive 22 points in that victory over Die Adler. The 21-year-old opposite spiker is fourth in the leading scorer standings in this competition with 168 points to date.
Slovenia has won 11 of their last 15 matches across all competitions. They beat this opponent 3-2 in this competition last year.

Our Iran vs Slovenia Prediction
Iran will be feeling much better about themselves after pulling off one of the upsets of yesterday by beating the fancied Germans, and they will hope to carry that momentum into this clash.
Slovenia are the favourites here, having only lost two matches in this competition. However, they have only won one of their nine 2026 VNL games in straight sets, and we feel this one will require a fourth, or even a deciding set, to find a winner. Our Iran vs Slovenia prediction is over 176.5 points.
