Overview
In a remake of the EuroVolley 2017 bronze medal match, which Serbia won, hosts Belgium and the southern European powerhouse will clash in a direct battle to stay undefeated and a de facto final for the first place in the pool. The Red Dragons have won all of their four matches in the pool so far and this is their last one before the eighthfinals, while the Serbs have claimed three victories so far and have one more game to play on Thursday, against winless Austria.
Seppe Baetens“Now that we’ve reached our goal to be first or second in the pool, but now we want beat the strong team of Serbia, because it would put us on top of the final standings, but, more importantly, give us a mental boost before the next stages of the tournament.”
Outside spiker of Belgium
Uros Kovacevic“For sure it is very important for us to take the first place in the pool. We came here to win every single game. This will be a difficult match against a very strong team, supported by a lot of Belgian fans, but of course we will do our best to win.”

Igor Grobelny“I had nothing to lose, when I joined the Red Dragons in the second set. I must grab the chances that the coach gives me. I tried to help the team, and I am happy that my attacks were successful. Serbia were very strong today, but we’ll try again to beat them next time.”
Outside spiker of Belgium
Slobodan Kovač“This was an important victory. I am happy with the good result. But this first place means nothing. It is possible that we meet the Belgian team again in the quarterfinals. That is why the game of today is important for our morale and our confidence. We did a good job.”
