The Slovenian team will have a day off before continuing the tournament tomorrow with a match against South Korea. With two wins in as many matches, the Slovenian team has secured its place in the eight of the final. The team will nonetheless attempt to avoid finishing fourth in the group, as this would most likely mean they would be matched-up with the reigning world champions United States in the knock-out stage.
