Perugia versus Moscow

On Thursday night at 8.30pm, Perugia will play host to Dinamo Moscow in the Champions League Playoffs 12 first leg. The Block Devils should have Russell back as he joined the group in training. Dinamo is led by the pair of coaches: Antonov and Yakovlev, both legendary outside hitters from different periods in Russia. A lot of the outcome should rely on the combination of the setter and outside hitter. De Cecco and Atanasijevic for Perugia, setter Grankin and Ivan Zaytsev for Moscow. The two setters love a fast-pace game while the outside hitters are among the very bests on the international scene. This should make for a special game.
