Overview
Slovakia have already won their matches against Spain and Austria, the two teams considered their main competitors for one of the eighthfinal spots. Their match against pool favourites Serbia will be a challenge, but who knows where the momentum could lead the inspired Slovak squad. In their only match so far, the Serbs shut out Germany, so in Sunday's match-up in Antwerp, one of the two teams will remain unbeaten and the other one will suffer their first defeat of the tournament.
