Monza in Cev Cup quarters Thursday
2012 Champions League
Last round of the group phase in the Champions League. All three Italian teams are top of their group. Macerata flew 6400 kilometers away to reach the Siberian city of Novosibirsk as the top spot is at stake between the two teams. 3-1 winners in the first leg, the Italians only need a point to secure the first position.
Trentino will be in Spain to meet Teruel, currently third. Kaziyski and co will need a victory to make sure they stay top as they only have a two-point advantage on Zaksa, second.
The only team already certain to finish as leader is Cuneo who travel to Germany to meet Unterhaching, which can still grab second place.
