Poland
It’s because of the point-ration. Serbia have won enough points to secure the spot, now Italy need to beat Poland 3-0, with a much bigger point difference, if they want to qualify for the semis.
The whole game was very exciting. In the first set, Serbia had an advantage, had a control until the very end of the set but with some good moves Poland managed to save the set points of the rival and made a turnaround for taking the lead in sets!
In the second set, we saw again a better start from Serbia, however, Poland answered back, playing much better at the very end of the second part of the game 28:26.
The third set brought us the first conflict between the players of Serbia and Poland. Michal Kubiak and Uros Kovacevic received the red cards after this situation. Afterwards, the Polish team took the win after a better display at the end of the set: 25-22.
Bartosz Kurek (15) and Michal Kubiak (14) led Poland to the win, while Uros Kovacevic had 14 on the other side.

Wrong. Italy needs to keep Poland under 61 points.
