PAST ENCOUNTERS: 8 (5-3 Verona)
Aidan Zingel (Calzedonia Verona): “The first game at home is always difficult. There are a lot of expectations, the pressure to do well, but we can’t wait to play for our fans. I did not expect to win the Lega prize for best middle blocker, this is a surprise for me but a great feeling ».
Francesco Del Vecchio (Exprivia Molfetta): “We are aware of how difficult is this game. We know for well that games are complicated for everyone in Verona. But we’re coming off a home loss, which that does not happen very often. We know the mistakes we made, where we can improve and we are keen to try to bounce back. Unfortunately, we’ll be missing players again, but we will give our very best to get a good result ».
