Canada and Iran will be hoping to get their faltering campaign back on track when they face each other in the FIVB Volleyball Men’s Nations League on Saturday. Placed in the bottom half of the table, both sides are struggling to find their feet in the competition. Canada and Iran have only two wins each and are closer to the bottom spot than the top of the table. It is something both sides can correct when they face each other on Saturday in a round one clash.
After losing the first three matches, Canada won back-to-back games against Bulgaria and Australia. The momentum they gained, however, was lost in the last match against Poland. Meanwhile, Iran started the tournament on a positive note, winning two out of the opening three games against China and Australia. However, they lost the next two matches to find themselves in a precarious situation. Iran are placed 12th with six points from five games, while Canada are a place below with five points from the same number of matches.
