Week 3 of the 2026 FIVB Nations League will see Serbia taking on Turkiye on Wednesday evening. All matches between these sides across the last decade have gone beyond three sets, which sees us leaning toward the total points market here for our main prediction. 

After an impressive first week, winning three of their four games, Serbia experienced a drop-off in Week two with three losses in four, which has seen them slip to 11th place in the standings. 

Lazar Marinovic has been the chief contributor to the side with 93 points, including 11 blocks. Aleksandar Nedeljković leads the team’s defence with 15 blocks and a success rate of 16.48%.

Serbia have only won four of their last 10 matches in all competitions, but they have beaten this opponent in their two previous VNL encounters. 

Meanwhile, Turkiye enjoyed an impressive second week in the 2026 VNL, notching up three wins in their four matches, which propelled them into the coveted top seven spots in the standings. 

Adis Lagumdzija is having a very strong run in the competition. The opposite spiker leads the team with 134 points, including 17 blocks, and is the fifth-highest scorer in the tournament coming into Week 3. 

Turkiye has split their last 10 matches, five wins and five defeats. In eight previous matches in all competitions against this opponent, the head-to-head record is level at 4-4.
