North Macedonia is challenging Spain in the first match of day 6 in Pool C
Winning one set against Finland is not enough for North Macedonia in this campaign, since they achieved two wins in Ljubljana at the 2019 Final edition.
This season's silver league finalist will now meet the golden league 7th Spain, so this match is like a test of level between these two series.
Spain – like North Macedonia – are still without a win in Tampere. They managed to win a set against Turkey in a very close game.
This is why Spain and North Macedonia now share an equal result in the table in Pool C. Before this match they also have equally met three countries: Turkey, Finland and the Netherlands.

Andrés Jesus Villena“We are very happy with the performance as well as with the result, even though this victory does not change much when it comes to our chances to progress to the next round of the competition. Still, this victory is important for our morale. We were a bit more stable and made fewer mistakes than we made in the previous matches, especially towards the end of the sets – and this is what made the difference, combined with more quality in our service and block.”
