Overview
This match is a direct qualification to the last 16 of EuroVolley 2016. If Slovakia come out with the victory, they will go through to the next round, leaving Germany and Spain to battle it out directly for the last available spot. A German win in this match will guarantee coach Andrea Giani and his team a spot in the eighthfinals, as they will irreversibly surpass Slovakia in the standings. In that case, it will also be down to the game between Germany and Spain on Thursday to determine whether the Slovaks or the Spaniards stay on in the competition.
Ruben Schott“I don't think we are the favourites to win this game, but, of course, I hope we win today, so we can achieve our goal to proceed to the next round.”
Outside spiker of Germany
Jakub Ihnat“This is our last match in this pool. We are aware how important this game is for us. It's probably the biggest match we have to play in the pool and the team is focused to try and get the win.”

Andrea Giani"At first they were very strong and we had problems scoring on the high passes after bad reception or defence. At the end of set 2 those balls had a better placement and we could play more easily into the middle or create some more tempo."
Coach of Germany
Tomas Krisko"We started very well in sets one and two, but after wasting multiple set points and losing the second set, our morale went down, while Germany made fewer mistakes, which resulted in this bad third set from our side."
