Azimut Modena is stronger after the contract extension for Earvin Ngapeth, who signed a contract until 2020, and after earned the access to Champions League PlayOff 6, by defeating 3-1 polish Asseco Resovia. Now Lorenzo Tubertini’s team is once again focused on Unipolsai Superleague playoffs, looking to Semifinal Game 2 on the home turf versus Lube, after the suffered tie break loss last sunday at Eurosuole Forum in Civitanova. On the other hand Cucine Lube Civitanova is determined to take the 2-0 lead in the series, setting the chance to close the series next sunday on the home turf. Wednesday Lube clinched the Champions League PayOff 6 spot, with the tie break loss on the home turf versus PGE Skra Belchatov. Now another challenge between these two teams, with Lube still favourite for the final win, but at the same time needing to be careful despite the power of Cucinieri, because defending Champ Azimut Modena is still strong and ready to fight.
