On Sunday afternoon, Ukraine will take on Germany in the 2026 Volleyball Nations League. Straight-set wins have been rare for both these teams in this competition, which sees us leaning toward the points market for our main prediction in this match. 

Despite a huge effort, Ukraine suffered a 3-2 defeat to Turkiye on Saturday afternoon. They are now 6-5 in their 11 2026 VNL games and are the first side below the final round cutoff. 

Illa Kovalov was the team’s top scorer in the last match with 18 points. Veteran Vasyl Tupchii leads the team in points in this tournament with 155, including 16 blocks and 15 service points. 

Ukraine have won seven of their last 15 matches in all competitions but have lost their last five encounters against this opponent. 

Meanwhile, Germany racked up an against-the-odds victory over Serbia in their last match, but they are still in 11th place and are extremely unlikely to qualify for the final round in this competition. 

Erik Röhrs once again starred for Die Adler in their last match with 22 points. He is also the team’s highest-scoring player in this competition with 158 points, including seven aces. 

Germany have only won six of their last 15 matches across all competitions.
