Slovakia hope to record their first victory at EuroVolleyM 2021. On Monday, they face Latvia in the first match of Day 6 in Pool D. The Slovaks started the tournament with a 0-3 defeat to pool favorites team France, and continued with a 2-3 thriller against co-hosts of the tournament Estonia. Latvia’s EuroVolleyM 2021 journey started off extremely well, with a surprising 3-1 win over Estonia. However, in their next match against Croatia, the team had to leave the court disappointed with a 2-3 loss. With both Slovakia and Latvia fighting hard for progressing to the next stage of the tournament, fans can expect the teams to put up a great battle today.

Match Report
Slovakia open the standings winning the tie break
Article
6 September 2021
Tomas Krisko“The game had a lot of ups and downs but in the fourth set, we finally found our rhythm. This is a very precious victory for us as Latvia is one of our main opponents for qualifying to the playoffs. The situation is very interesting in our pool right now and our focus is set on the upcoming match with Croatia.”
Spiker of Slovakia
Toms Svans“We knew it would be a tough match and I think we were ready, but today we missed stability. In the last set, Slovakia did a good job on the block. I don´t know what the chances to advance ahead are now. Yes, we have some points but now we have to see how the other teams will perform.”
