On Wednesday afternoon, Ukraine will take on Iran in Week 3 of the 2026 FIVB Nations League. Iran has not beaten a higher-ranked opponent in this competition, and our prediction is that they will struggle against Ukraine in this one.
Ukraine enjoyed a fruitful second week at the 2026 Nations League, winning their first three games before falling to Bulgaria 3-1 in their final match. They enter Week 3 in fifth place in the standings.
Vasyl Tupchii is the current gatekeeper to the top 10 point scorers in the competition. The veteran opposite spiker has 115 points in eight games, including 12 blocks and eight serve points.
Ukraine have won six of their last 10 matches in all competitions, but they were beaten 3-2 by this opponent in this tournament last year.
Meanwhile, Iran struggled to find their best form across the first two weeks of the 2026 VNL, having only managed two wins in their eight games, which sees them sat in 14th place.
Ali Hajipour leads the team with 110 points in eight matches, followed by Ali Haghparast, who had an excellent second week and now has 97 points, including eight off serves.
Iran has won just three of their last 10 matches in all competitions. This is just the third competitive meeting between these sides.

Our Ukraine vs Iran Prediction
Ukraine has enjoyed an impressive second campaign at the Volleyball Nations League, and with five wins in eight matches, they are firmly in the race to finish in the top seven and progress to the final round of the competition.
In contrast, Iran has struggled to produce their best this year and has a mountain to climb to reach the final round cutoff, having only won two of their eight matches so far. Given how these sides have fared to this point, we fancy Ukraine to come out on top in the one. Our Ukraine vs Iran prediction is Ukraine wins.
