Greece are regarded as the favorites based on their previous results, they took the fifth spot last year on cadet EC. The came to Switzerland with a weakened squad, without their best player Strantzali, receiver Psoma, their first setter and important central blocker. So, 4 key players missing and they even don't have their reserve opposite as she missed the start of preparations. Greece have also had messy and short preparations, which is not good for them as their squad isn't too organized and the players aren't familiar with each other. This means they can't be such strong favorites. Croatia are in a completely different state of things, they have had ideal preparations and have improved their form game by game. They paid special attention to this first game against Greece. The weakened opponents are a chance for Croats to get a win that would put them one step closer to a place at the EC. They have the quality, the mood in the team is great and they can't wait for the tournament to start. An advantage for Croatia lies in the fact that they know more about Greece than Greece know about them.
