Russell’s men scored six goals for the second match running as the GB team look to qualify for the Olympics for the first time since 1948.

GB beat Netherlands 6-5 in their opening match in Cortina, Italy, and now face the hosts on Sunday, with only the group winners moving on to the final stage of qualifying in September.

"One of the best things is we scored six goals again, Russell said.

"We have got a lot of guys scoring at the moment and that is really good for us. We came here to be in this position and I am very much looking forward to Italy."

Great Britain opened the scoring against Serbia after just four minutes and 28 seconds through Colin Shields.

Nenad Rakovic and Uros Bjelogrlic both equalised for Serbia either side of Matty Davies’s good finish.

But GB then moved clear as David Phillips put them back in front and David Clarke bagged a couple before Robert Lachowicz rounded off the scoring in the final minute.
