In the last round of Group C, the neighbors defeated the selection of Georgia by a score and thus secured a place in the knockout phase of the competition.

1/4

Their rather unexpected triumph threw the current European champion, the Spanish team, into a serious problem, which will now have to overcome Greece if they want to avoid an epic defeat.

Namely, in case of defeat by Janis and his team, the Spaniards will have to pack their bags and return home already after the group stage of the competition.

Calculations

If Spain triumphs tonight, Greece will be fourth in group C and will play against Israel and France in the round of 16, and the winner of that match will play Serbia in the quarterfinals.

Namely, in that case, there would be a round where Spain, Bosnia and Greece would each have three wins and two losses. The Spaniards would be second due to victories over both rivals, Bosnia third with a score of 1-1, and Greece interestingly only fourth. If Greece beats Spain, it is first in the group, and if it loses, it falls to fourth place.

In case of Spain's defeat, Georgia will be fourth in the table, which means that coach Aleksandar Džikić's team will be a potential rival to Serbia in the quarterfinals.
