Suntory Sunbirds vs Osaka Blazers Sakai Prediction 1 November 2026

Suntory started the season with a 3-1 victory over Voreas Hokkaido, followed by a 2-3 loss to the same opponent and a 1-3 defeat to Osaka. In three V-League matches, the hosts have one win and two losses, with a set balance of 6:7. On average, they scored 100 points per match but conceded 103. A broader stretch looks better: six wins in their last ten matches indicate that the two recent losses do not fully reflect their form.

Osaka has secured two wins in three matches this season: they defeated Fragolad Kagoshima 3-0 and Suntory 3-1, but lost to Fragolad Kagoshima 2-3 between these encounters. Their set record is 8-4; on average, the team scores 96.33 points per match and concedes 89. In five consecutive matches of the SV League, Osaka has covered a +1.5 point spread. However, in the last ten matches, the visitors have five wins and five losses - their results over this stretch are less convincing compared to the start of the current season.
