Overview
The most electrifying encounter in Pool A. The clash of defending EuroVolley champion Serbia and reigning world champion Poland might determine the pool winner. Serbia remain undefeated in Europe's prime competition since their bronze medal match in 2017 at Tauron Arena and will try to extend their 12 win streak to earn their third victory in this campaign, after defeating Belgium and Ukraine. Poland, so far, have played only one match, winning with Portugal 3-1. Support from the White-and-Red crowd in an expected full house in Kraków will definitely give an extra boost of motivation to the home team.

Nemanja PETRIC
Bio
On reception safe, reliable in attack. Ready to serve an ace at the most important moment. The real leader of the 'blue company' - Nemanja Petrić. He waited for a real chance in the national team for a long time, and when he got it, he left such an impression that he became the captain. He is the ‘quiet head’ of a temperamental family. A player who gives security to everyone else on the field.

Poland come out on top in heavy weight clash
Mateusz Bieniek"It was a hard battle, we were losing 2-1 and in the fourth set the ending was very tight, but we managed to beat Serbia. What was the key? We served really well and our fans, this crowd and their support let us win."

Marko Ivovic"It was a big pleasure to play again in front of the crowd, because due to the situation with pandemic the sport was losing the sense that we play for the fans and for the emotions. So it was a pleasure to play here. I'm happy that we fought until the end. In matches like this one a few balls make a difference, but this is sport."
