“Saturday’s game will put face to face two top quality teams – said Stankovic ahead of the clash against Modena as he is in his third season at Macerata – They will be ready to fight and take revenge following the loss in the last round (vs Trento). Our quality, as well as Modena’s strength cannot be put in doubt just because of one defeat after five consecutive victories. This will be a crucial game for the league table”.

Meanwhile, Serbian outside hitter Sasa Starovic, who is a San Giustino player, arrived yesterday in Macerata to start his rehab on his knee.
