Countdown to quarter-final game 1 has begun. On Sunday Padova heads to Castellana Grotte, where it will play at 6pm. This will be a big test for Montagnani’s boys, but they proved they were in great shape.

“It’s never easy to play in Castellana Grotte – said Padova’s top scorer with 507 points, Francesco De Marchi – They have an all-round team, with very experienced players who can resolve any difficult situation. Having said that, we will go there without fear”.
