Türkiye will meet Ukraine at the 2026 Volleyball Nations League on Friday night. With these teams two just above the final-round cutoff, we are expecting a titanic battle and are leaning toward the points market above an outright winner selection. 

Türkiye has kicked off the 2026 Nations League very impressively, racking up back-to-back wins over Belgium and Serbia without losing a set. They are now the gatekeepers to the top seven. 

Adis Lagumdzija once again played the starring role in their last match against Serbia with 17 points. He is now fifth in the overall leading points scorer standings with 151 points in nine games. 

Türkiye has won 10 of their last 15 matches across all competitions, but they were beaten in straight sets by this opponent in this tournament last year. 

Meanwhile, after beating Iran in their opening of Week 3, Ukraine fell to Serbia 3-1 yesterday, which also saw them slip to sixth place in the standings with six wins and four defeats in 10 games.

Vasyl Tupchii picked up 15 points in the loss to Serbia. The veteran opposite spiker is 11th in the overall points standings with 129 points, including 16 block points and 12 off his service.

Ukraine has won eight of their last 15 games in all competitions. The all-time h2h between these sides reads as three wins for Türkiye and two for Ukraine.
