2013 CEV Champions League
Two more games to go in the Champions League main phase. In round 5, Trentino, Macerata and Cuneo could all celebrate first place with a game in hand. On Wednesday, Trento plays host to Tours, who they easily beat in the first leg. Hurt by one injury after another, Macerata will travel to Ljubljana, who stands five points behind and was severely defeated in Italy. On Thursday, it will be Cuneo’s turn, in France against Sete. The first leg finished with a clear win for the Italian side. The French are seven points behind Cuneo but will hope to get some points to fight for second place with Rzeszow.
