Thursday 13th april at Eurosuole Forum in Civitanova will take pace another chapter of the endless challenge between two big rivals Cucine Lube Civitanova and Azimut Modenathe sixth game in this season, and still not the last. Champions League PlayOffs 6 Game 2 between these two teams will celebrate the team will face Perugia in Champions League Final Four next 29th April at PalaLottomatica in Roma. Cucine Lube Civitanova is fine in this moment. They are in front 2-1 in Superleague Semifinal series,and they have a good advantage in PlayOff 6 after Game 1, won at PalaPanini 3-0 last week. If Gianlorenzo Blengini’s team will win two sets in tomorrow’s game, they will clinch the access to Final Four in Roma. On the other hand Azimut Modena still believes, they already defeated Lube in this season, also recently, so they will have the chance to reach Final Four, winning the game 3-0 or 3-1, to play Golden Set. If Lube will clich the access to Final Four, will be the second in a row, after last season’s one.

Bogdan Olteanu (Exprivia Molfetta): “Too bad for us in Game 3: we did not gave our best, we are better on the home turf, it is a constant for us in this season. We’ll play to force the series to Game 5, we want to reach Final Four. But for the moment we are focused on tomorrow’s game. We will have to be careful of everything on the court”.

Thomas Beretta (Gi Group Monza): “We’ll go to Puglia with the consciousness we could grab the win, with a great performance as we did in Game 3. On the home turf in front of their fans Exprivia is strong and intense, they will play until the end to force the series to Game 5. Will be important for us to keep up high the rhythm of the game, working on their confidence. We’ll try to close the series as soon as possible, to have some more day to prepare Final Four. We practiced very well in past days, we will give our best”.
