Cuneo is facing its first European game having defeated Vibo Valentia on Saturday in the league. Cuneo will be without spiker Della Lunga (abdominal problem) and middle blocker Emanuel Kohut (back) as it travels to Remat Zalau. Besides the Romanian team, Cuneo has been drawn with the French of Sete and the Polish side of Rzeszow.

“The fact that the club has never won this competition is certainly an extra motivation – said Wijsmans – The level of the competition has considerably gone up, it’s become very tough, but we have a strong team, we can give a game to anyone”.
