1. Volleyball Nations League Predictions

There are 16 participating countries, divided in two groups. 12 Core teams will be a part of the League every year based on their global standing, and they include Argentina, Brazil, China, Germany, France, Iran, Japan, Poland, Italy, Serbia, Russia and United States. In addition to those permanent members, 4 challenger teams – Bulgaria, Australia, South Korea and Canada – will compete with the possibility of relegation. The nation from this group that gains the fewest points will face the winner of the Challenger cup for the right to participate in the Volleyball Nations League next year.

1.1 Nations League Final Six

Now, there are only six teams left in a fight for a Nations League trophy. France, Brazil, USA, Serbia and Poland are still hoping for a final success. So which team will win Nations League?

2. Volleyball Nations League Odds

Naturally, the frontrunners should be expected to come from the group of Core teams. Brazil looms large as the greatest threat to win the inaugural title of the Volleyball Nations League and add it to its collection that includes 9 World League championships. The bookmakers agree, with bet365 giving Brazil 3/1 odds to win outright. Other nations with strong FIVB Volleyball Men's Nations League odds include France at 4/1, USA at 6/1. Several East European nations look like possible dark horses that could get as far as the final tournament if not further, with Russia given 8/1 odds to win, followed by Serbia at 9/1 and Poland at 12/1.

2.1 Volleyball Betting

You can place odds for volleyball at different bookmakers, but odds for Nations League can be found only at bet365.

3. How to bet on Volleyball Nations League?

With four Volleyball Nations League events taking place every week in different cities, there is plenty of action to choose from and bettors can hunt for good opportunities. One strategy is to target home teams playing against highly ranked opponents, since it might be possible to get good odds on such matches. Another option is to look for matches that Challenger teams could plausibly win and root for an upset, although this could be even riskier. Of course, you can always resort to betting larger amounts on the top favorites and trust they won’t drop a match against a clearly weaker foe.
