At PalaEvangelisti Sir Safety Conad Perugia will try to profite of the game between Cucine Lube Civitanova and Diatec Trentino, trying to grab some points in the game versus Gi Group Monza. Will be difficoult for Perugia to aim to first place, but if Lube will win versus Trento, the Block Devils could challenge for the second place in regular season, good for the playoff bracket. Monza is good versus powerhouses, as they showed last wednesday in the game versus Modena. In the first game of the season Perugia won 3-0 on the road in Monza.

Ivan Zaytsev (Sir Safety Conad Perugia): “On sunday we have to come back to win in front of our fans, we need the three points looking for the second place and the playoffs. We will face Monza, a team who challenged alot of powerhouses, so we need to step on the court focused, we don’t have to give them confidence and let them know they can put us in difficoulty. We are in good form, after the win in Molfetta”.
Thomas Beretta (Gi Group Monza): “The game versus Modena revealed our potential, but we need to have continuity to step up and face the powerhouses. We grew up since the start of the season, and after the game versus Modena, we are confident to face Perugia at our top. In PalaEvangelisti will be a great atmosphere, we are ready, we will need our serve and our blocks to bring on some points”.
