Overview
Switzerland will aim to keep the momentum from their previous match at ŠC Višnjik - Dvorana Krešimir Ćosić. On Saturday they won a rollercoaster five-setter with Hungary and will definitely look for their chance also in the encounter with Belarus after one day of rest. Also Belarus had an opportunity to recover on Sunday after suffering two defeats from the strongest teams in Pool C - Italy and Croatia. Switzerland and Belarus will definitely fight hard in this game, as this victory can be a bargaining card in the pool standings. The teams locked horns earlier this year twice - as they competed in the same pool during EuroVolley Qualifiers, both fixtures were won by Belarus (3-0 and 3-1).

Hanna Klimets“We lost two matches in a row at the beginning of the tournament, but yesterday we had a rest day and we used it as an opportunity to analyse what we had been doing right and what had gone wrong in order to improve. I am obviously happy with today’s performance and result and it bodes well for the next games. We played against the Swiss at the qualifiers, they are a very interesting team and defend very well – their style is different to the Russian school, so we had to find ways to adjust.”
Player of Belarus
Hanna Davyskiba"After one day of rest, we cleared our minds and we started to work together. Our game with middle blockers worked much better, they did a really good job and had a lot of points. And it helped us to win. It's the first step, we won our first match and we are really happy about it."
outside hitter of Belarus
Madlaina Matter"We made a lot of mistakes and we didn't play in our rhythm, we just tried to adapt to their rhythm, but they were finding solutions quickly against our block and they made a lot of good points in attack. In the end they are a better team, but I think we have to take the best out of this loss and go for a win tomorrow."
