Derby top of the 2 European Championship group hopes the winner will secure a clear path in the knockout phase. In particular, 1 of the group avoids the final France, Russia and most likely also Poland that he lost from Serbia and will has increased prizes for a medal.
Italy is a level above the Germans and I expect this difference to be seen in today's games.
Let's go to the victory of the Italians with handicap -1,5 sets.
