Exprivia Molfetta will play on the home turf at PalaPoli trying to avoid the 0-2 in the series, playing for the tie trying to take advantage of the strong effort of the fans of warm PalaPoli. Molfetta has been in front in Game 1, without being able to keep the lead and losing the game despite the usual great offensive effort of Giulio Sabbi, who will need 9 more points to reach 600 in the season, and 20 more attacks to reach 500. Gi Group Monza is preparring very well these Playoff Challenge games with particular attention to the intangibles, with Miguel Angel Falasca’s team who will need to contain the power in attack of Molfetta, especially on the home turf. Will probably a long series.

Giulio Sabbi (Exprivia Molfetta): “We played a good game in Monza, with our usual troubles in play on the road. They were good in the fundamental of serve, and they stayed focused in the crunch time of the sets. If we play as we know, we cound stretch the series at least to Game 4. We will play in front of our fans, we should take advantage of this”.

Thomas Beretta (Gi Group Monza): “It was a good game for us, as we did in regular season we played our best volleyball, with good serve and a good job in defence and down the net. They are storng on the home turf in front of their fans, we had great intensity in this week, we practiced with focus, we want to reach our goal, the Final Four, so we will try to win in Puglia and close the series in Game 3″.
