Ukraine and Canada will face off on Friday in the 2026 FIVB Volleyball Nations League. Canada have not lost a match in straight sets in this competition, which sees us leaning toward the points market here for our main prediction.
Ukraine have made a very impressive start to Week 2 of the 2026 VNL, having handed Brazil their first defeat of the competition before thrashing world number one Italy 3-0 on Thursday.
Oleh Plotnytskyi’s return to the team for Week 2 has been key, with the outside hitter now on 34 points in two games. Vasyl Tupchii is Ukraine’s leading scorer in the competition with 84 points.
With those wins, Ukraine are now up to third place in the standings. They have won five and lost five of their last 10 matches in all competitions, but did lose to this opponent 3-1 last year in this tournament.
Meanwhile, Canada only won one of their four matches in the opening week of the 2026 VNL, and they kicked off Week 2 with a disappointing 3-1 loss to Slovenia on Wednesday evening.
Canada does not have any players currently ranked in the top 15 point scorers in the competition. Wassenaar Ketrzynski has been their most effective attacker, currently on 66 points in five games.
The loss to Slovenia saw Canada slip to 14th in the standings. They have only won two of their last 10 matches in all competitions.

Our Ukraine vs Canada Prediction
Ukraine has been one of the most impressive teams in this year’s VNL to this point, and after beating Italy in straight sets yesterday, they are massive favourites coming into this matchup.
While we expect Ukraine to win this match, the value in this contest lies in the points market. Indeed, Canada has only won one of their five matches in the competition, but they have notched up at least a set in every game so far. Therefore, our Ukraine vs Canada prediction is over 174.5 points.
