Fresh from a crucial and valuable 3-0 victory in the first leg, Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza is preparing to officially bid farewell to the 2025/26 season with its final match of the year. The PalaBancaSport, the home of the red and whites, will host the second leg of the 2026 CEV Cup Final, with Piacenza hosting German side Lüneburg in an arena that is quickly approaching a sellout. As mentioned, in the first leg, Simon and his teammates prevailed on the road with a clear three-set victory: this result from a week ago will allow Dante Boninfante’s team to lift the trophy – if successful, the first in Europe for President Curti’s club – by winning at least two sets during the match.
In the first leg, Alessandro Bovolenta took center stage, finishing with 17 total points, followed by the performances of José Gutierrez (11) and Efe Mandiraci (10). For Luneburg, the top scorer was Daniel Gruvaeus (11).
The first leg will be broadcast live on DAZN, free with registration, and on Sky Sport Arena.
