All the italian teams on court next wednesday 1st march for the last game of Champions League Pools. All three italians are qualified for PlayOffs 12, with Perugia already in semifinals as Hosting team of Champions League Final Four in Roma. The only uncertain thing is Pool B first place, with Cucine Lube Civitanova who will face Berlin Recycling Volleys for the spot Number 1 in the Pool.
Friday 3rd march in the morning, in CEV offices in Luxemburg, will take place the draw of PlayOffs 12.
At 21 on Fox Sports Plus we’ll attend the most important match of the night, Cucine Lube Civitanova – Berlin Recycling Volleys, first and second of Pool B with the same points in the standings. Gianlorenzo Blengini’s team is undefeated by 7th december in Europe, but they lost the away game in Berlin, a loss which is costing at the moment the leadership in the Pool. Now Lube is a different team, much confident, running a great moment of shape and continuity, a moment which gave to Civitanova the Italian Cup and the leadership in the Unipolsai Superleague Playoffs bracket. Will be a great game at Eurosuole Forum on tomorrow.
