Iran and Brazil will be going head-to-head in the FIVB Volleyball Men’s Nations League with the intention of climbing out of the mid-table positions they find themselves currently. Both teams are not far away from each other in the standings, however, they are off the pace from the top sides in the table. Brazil and Iran are ninth and eleventh respectively in the table, having managed six points each from five games. Hence, the round one clash on Friday provides them with the opportunity to climb up the table.
