Previous Matches: 8 (6 Vibo Valentia, 2 Ravenna)
Championship: 2 (2 Regular Season, 2 wins for Valentia (3-1 1-3).
RECORDS
In Regular Season, Play Off Challenge and Italian Cup: Manuel Coscione – 1 block to 300 (Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia); Fabio Ricci – 4 blocks to 100 (Bunge Ravenna).
Thiago Alves Soares (Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia): “we played two times in the season versus Ravenna, the last one was very important, with those win we clinched a spot in the Playoff bracket, on their turf. Will be a difficoult series, on sunday they will come here searching for revenge, but we’ll be ready, i’m ready to play my part”.
Fabio Soli (Bunge Ravenna): “We are not playing official games by a month, so obviously we don’t have the right rhythm we are used to have during regular season. We played a couple of test matches, loke thursday in Reggio Emilia, where we played the right way in first sets. We had an aggressive approach to the game, so let’s hope for Vibo Valentia game. Will be a difficult match, they are a tough opponent, we will have to be patient, focused and ready to suffer”.
