Sunday at the 2026 Volleyball Nations League will see Japan taking on Argentina. Ryujin Nippon have been flawless in this competition, and we are firmly behind them winning this match in our main prediction.
Japan have been sensational in the Nations League this year. After dispatching Belgium in straight sets yesterday, they remain the only team yet to taste defeat in this competition.
Masato Kai took his opportunity to shine in the last match, notching up 18 points. Ryujin Nippon’s top performer in the tournament is Ran Takahashi with 192 points, including 17 serve points.
Japan are now on a 12-match win streak and have won each of their last five encounters against their upcoming opponents.
Meanwhile, Argentina have lost eight and won just three of their 11 matches in this competition. They are in 14th place in the standings and extremely unlikely to reach the final round this year.
Argentina were no match for Italy in their last match, losing the clash 3-0. Luciano Vicentin has been their standout performer with 173 points (averaging 15.73 per match) in the competition.
Argentina have lost 10 of their last 15 matches in all competitions, and last beat Japan in the 2021 edition of the Nations League.

Our Japan vs Argentina Prediction
Argentina have struggled massively for consistency in this year’s Nations League, and with only three wins in 11 games in the competition, they are all but certain to miss out on qualifying for the final round.
In complete contrast, Japan have been the benchmark at the 2026 VNL, currently the only team with a perfect record. Ryujin Nippon have won their last five matches against this opponent, and we feel they will extend that record in this one. Our Japan vs Argentina prediction is Japan -1.5.
