Overview
When the unbeaten leader meets the winless last-place team, the outcome may look pre-decided, but this is no quite the case when Serbia and Austria face each other in the last Pool B match in Antwerp. Underdogs Austria have shown some good qualities in their pool campaign, but with four losses they are already home-bound. Still, they will certainly do their best not to go home empty-handed. At the same time, it is a great opportunity for coach Slobodan Kovac to give some rest to his key players and a chance to those who have not been playing so much. It could be an interesting game.
Marko Ivovic“We want to win this game because we need to show the fans we are the winners of this pool and we want five victories.”

Philipp Kroiss“We are very keen not to go home empty handed. We started this tournament playing well and we want to play better than in the first match.”
