On Thursday night, Latina will play host to the Germans of Unterhaching, which they defeated in the first leg on the road 3-0. This means that the Italians could go through without having to play the golden set. The Germans had come down from the Champions League, having finished third of the main phase in the group of Macerata following their last round defeat against the Slovenians of Ljubljana. Unterhaching is currently second of the German league behind Berlin, having lost only two games at the tie-break against the leaders.

“We had a good game in the first leg, while we expected them to play better – said Cisolla – They will probably make some changes, which will make things harder”.
