The match will present Russian Sergey Ovchinnikov the opportunity to rotate bench players in preparation for bigger commitments and also fine tune the big cylinders of his powerful unit.

Aside of the competition, the contest will be the stage for one historical moment when legendary Evgenia Estes Artamanova steps on the court to become the first ever volleyball player to take part in six different Olympic Games.

It is going to be quite interesting to watch how the British team can handle the pressure of the David vs. Goliath battle.
