In the second match of the day, at 4 p.m. two national teams disappointed at the start of the tournament will meet. Having experienced two painful defeats, the Estonians will face the Spaniards. Only a victory in this match would help these national teams to continue the fight for medals, and if they lose, they will have to worry about staying in the division.

Lithuanian national team at 7:30 p.m. the Dutch national team is waiting. If the Lithuanians confidently advance in the tournament, the Dutch national team is the only one that still not only has no points, but also has not scored a single goal.

A victory for the Lithuanian national team could guarantee the medals of this division and bring them closer to the goal of gold medals.
