Overview
It’s the second day of group D in Cluj-Napoca. The first match of the day brings together two countries from the north of Europe in what we expect to be quite an unpredictable game. Sweden is ending 38 years of absence from the European Championships while Finland ticks its fourth appearance in EuroVolley. This clash might reveal the dark horse of the group, it will be very interesting to watch it unfold.
