Italy v Serbia
...
Something will have to give in this one as both teams won on Day 1. It sees a fascinating battle between a number or rising EuroLeague Women stars such as Cecilia Zandalasini and Aleksandra Crvendakic. Serbia will want to make sure they don't start cold as they did against Sweden in their first game.
Netherlands v France
...
It's another two teams heading into this one on a high after Day 1 triumphs. Neither team were particularly convincing against Latvia and Greece respectively, but will know the importance of the result as they push to take pole position in the Group.
Sweden v Germany
...
This looks to be an absolutely huge game for both nations who will no doubt be thrilled to secure survival in Division A for another year. Both were beaten in their openers, despite Emma Stach being on fire for Germany and she will need to be guarded closely.
Greece v Latvia
...
Greece and Latvia both impressed on their first outing in Matosinhos, but neither were able to take a victory and will want to avoid heading into Day 3 still searching for a first win.
Poland v Bosnia and Herzegovina
...
Both teams suffered first day losses and this could be vital in what already looks like a battle to avoid bottom spot in the Group - and that is where the loser of this one might end up.
Belgium v Russia
...
After mis-firing against Slovak Republic in their first game, Belgium could barely have a more difficult match-up to try and bounce back. Russia weren't in top gear against Turkey and that may mean a tough encounter for Philip Mestdagh and his players.
Portugal v Spain
...
It's the big derby game and both teams will add confidence to the passion which will inevitably flow, having both won on Day 1. Maria Kostourkova will be high on the Spanish scouting report, even more so after her 30 points and 14 rebounds against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Turkey v Slovak Republic
...
Slovak Republic will be excited at the possibilities in the Group if they can take a second win, while Turkey are looking to take their first victory at the second attempt.
