With one match remaining in the Women's EHF EURO 2022 preliminary round, Serbia are facing the prospect of elimination, with no points in their account as yet. Depending on the results of the Denmark versus Sweden match that will close round 3 for group B, they can secure a main round berth with a victory over co-hosts Slovenia.

Serbia’s campaign has not lived up to their hopes, with two clear losses to the group’s Scandinavian teams — 21:27 to Sweden in round 1 and 21:34 to Denmark in round 2. The mood in the team on Monday morning, the day after the defeat to Denmark, was sombre.
