Gi Group Monza is determined to take again the lead in the series, after last sunday’s loss in Puglia. In front of the home fans, Miguel Angel Falasca’s team will need to put on court a solid performance, trying to double Game 1 win. Exprivia Molfetta is in good shape after the win in Game 2 at PalaPoli in Molfetta, with a great Giulio Sabbi who will need 7 more points to reach 600 points in the season. This is the most balanced series of these Playoff Challenge Quarterfinals.

RECORD

In Regular Season, Play Off Challenge and Italian Cup: Thomas Beretta – 1 block to 500 (Gi Group Monza).

Leandro Vissotto (Gi Group Monza): “In Game 2 we weren’t able to express our best fundamentals, serve and reception. We will need to be serene and focused, next sunday. Next week we were under pressure, and we suffered this status. Technically we will need to be good in serve and in reception, and try to attack the best way possible. We know our opponent as they know us, so will win the team who will handle pressure in the better way. This week we practiced very well”.

Francesco Del Vecchio (Exprivia Molfetta): “With the series tied, we can do a very important step, in Game 3. We want to play the same way as last sunday, playing better than Game 1, where we had some troubles in crunch time of the sets. I’m confident, we practiced very well, we will play at our best”.
