One of the standout matches on Sunday’s Week 2 card at the 2026 FIVB Nations League sees Slovenia taking on Italy. We do not see a clear favourite in this one, which sees us leaning toward the points market in our match prediction.
Slovenia are enjoying a solid 2026 VNL campaign. After beating Bulgaria 3-2 in a thrilling contest on Thursday, they have now won five of their six matches in this competition to date.
Nik Mujanović has been the most efficient performer for the team in this competition. The 21-year-old opposite spiker is fourth in the leading scorer standings with 135 points in six games.
Slovenia are fifth in the standings and have won eight of their last 10 matches in all competitions. However, they have lost their last two encounters against their upcoming opponents.
Meanwhile, after back-to-back losses in their first two games in Week 2 of the 2026 VNL, Italy managed to bounce back with a much-needed 3-1 victory over Brazil on Friday evening.
Mattia Bottolo has been Gli Azzurri’s chief contributor in this competition with 93 points, followed by outside hitter Luca Porro, who has 73 points in six games, including seven service points.
Italy are in sixth place coming into this match and have won seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Our Slovenia vs Italy Prediction
Barring their defeat to high-flying Japan, Slovenia have been very impressive in this competition, though they have had to work for their results, having not won a single match in straight sets.
Italy have looked well below the level they showed in the opening week in Week 2 of this competition, and even if they are to win this match, we feel they will need more than three sets to get the job done. Our Slovenia vs Italy prediction is over 182.5 points.
