The Swedish squad landed on Friday and will play the round of 16 on Monday.
It was important that we were able to rest. You feel great gratitude for what has happened, while also recharging, says team captain Anna Haak.
The Czech Republic is ranked higher, but Sweden won their last official meeting in the Golden League two years ago. Tough matches in the group stage will not stop their chances, according to the Swedish national team captain.
"If we read the game correctly, it could be our game," says Micelli.
Sweden's women's volleyball team finished third in the European Championship group stage in Gothenburg, which is the best group result any Swedish women's national team has achieved in the championship.
Four of the six teams in the group made it to the playoffs, and Sweden thus qualified for the round of 16.
On Monday at 7:00 PM, host country the Czech Republic will be the opposition.
The match will be played in Brno and will be broadcast on SVT/SVT Play.
