Arena 8888 in Sofia will host the Pool B opener at the 2026 EuroVolley between Israel and Ukraine on Thursday. Ukraine are ranked 19 places above this opponent, and our prediction is that they will get the win over their lower-ranked opponent in this match.
Israel will be making their second consecutive EuroVolley appearance this year. They returned to the competition after a 52-year absence in 2023 but were unable to get beyond the group stage.
They qualified for this year’s competition by finishing second in Pool D with three wins and seven points, and enjoyed an excellent European League, reaching the semi-finals in June.
Israel have won eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions but have lost each of their last three encounters against their upcoming opponents.
Meanwhile, Ukraine have been on an upward trajectory over the past few years, having made the last eight at the 2022 World Championships and the quarter-finals of the 2023 EuroVolley.
Their 2026 Nations League campaign was particularly impressive, as they clinched seventh place in the preliminary phase before bowing out to eventual champions Poland in the quarter-finals.
Ukraine have won five and lost five of their last 10 matches, but three of those losses came against higher-ranked opponents during their 2026 VNL campaign.

Our Israel vs Ukraine Prediction
Israel have made significant strides forward since their disappointing return to EuroVolley in 2023, but this is a tough test against one of the teams favoured to progress from Pool B in this competition.
Ukraine were one of the standout performers in the 2026 VNL, as they beat the likes of Brazil and France to spot in the final round. They have won their last three listed matches against this opponent, and we fancy them to extend that record in this one. Our Israel vs Ukraine prediction is Ukraine -1.5.
