Recap
Serbia traveled to Japan with a considerably changed lineup. A significant number of the main players are not in Igor Kolaković’s team, and compared to the previous World Cup in September 2022, out of the squad are 10 players, among them are key players Uroš Kovačević, Aleksandar Atanasijević, Srećko Lisinac, and Marko Podraščanin. Slovenia comes to Japan with the best possible lineup, with whom they will play the qualifiers for the Olympic Games. Serbia has many young players who have their first chance to prove themselves on such a big stage, but I doubt that can take 2 sets against the best possible team of Slovenia.
