The second game of the day will match Serbia and Russia - each coming from a different world.

While Russia took on big momentum out of the preliminary round and finished their group with a 39 point win and a perfect record, Serbia lost their last two games, the last of them by 26 points to Belarus.

		Ilona Korstin has turned the ball over 11 times this tournament against just six assists.

Russia are picking up a rhythm, and at times seems like they can't wait for the final round to start.

Serbia got the prestigious win over Croatia on opening day, which was enough to qualify, but now they need to show they can do more than that, and finish above the 9th place they have already achieved two years ago.

Head to Head: In EuroBasket 2005 Russia beat Serbia 86-69 on the way to the finals after a close first half.

Last Time Out: After two tough wins Russia finally sent out a message with an 86-47 win over Greece. Serbia was part of a blow out themselves but on the other side of the fence with a 26 point loss to Belarus.

Key Match Up: Serbia's Maja Miljkovic was a barometer of her team so far. In the win over Croatia and the close loss to Spain she played well with double-digit points, only one combined turnover and nearly no missed shots. She'll have to step up once again for Serbia to have a shot. Ilona Korstin of the Russian side will try to eliminate Miljkovic and make Russia's job easier, as one of the best guard defenders the favourites have to offer.

X-Factor: Marina Puskar of Serbia can make this game a little bit more interesting. Serbia will need to somehow maintain the dominance of the Russian team in the paint. Puskar, with her 194cm, is averaging 6.3 rpg in less than 20 mpg. If she could hustle and make the Russian post players work hard, get her team some second chances on the offensive board and prevent the same from Russia on the other side, things will be better for the Serbs.

Statistics: Both teams score more or less the same amount of points, take as many shots and make in the same percentages. It's under the rim where the differences appear. Despite the fact that Serbia pulled almost four offensive rebounds more per game, the Russians tallied 10 more total rebounds. In the blocked shots department Russia averaged 6.3 while Serbia didn't even register above one per contest.

What It Means: Russia would like to try and clinch a ticket to the quarter-finals already today, and focus on the fight for the top spot in the next two days, while Serbia would like to avoid their third loss in a row.
