Eighth Finals versus Castellana

Playoff Challenge are upcoming for Top Volley Taiwan Excellence, who will face at PalaBianchini Bcc Castellana Grotte in the Eighth Finals.

Sir Safety Conad Perugia – Bunge Ravenna. 12 wins for Perugia and only 2 wsins for Ravenna in the previous matches between these two teams. In this season Lorenzo Bernardi’s team clearly won the two games in Perugia and in Ravenna, both games won 3-0 for the Block Devils. Perugia will need to be focused despite they are the strong favourite of this series. Both the teams qualified for final rounds of European Cups, Perugia in Champions League, and Ravenna in Challenge Cup.

Diatec Trentino – Calzedonia Verona. 32 games between these two teams, in this upcoming Quarterfinals series, probably the most balanced series in the bracket. Trento and Verona faced each other in 2009/2010 Quartefinals. In this season one win apiece for Angelo Lorenzetti and Nikola Grbic. In last Regular Season’s game, Trento grabbed one point at Candy Arena in Monza, losing at the tie break, and Clazedonia won a at tie break on the home turf at Agsm Forum versus Wixo Lpr Piacenza, trailing by 0-2 but losing Stephen Maar for a sprained ankle.

Cucine Lube Civitanova – Wixo LPR Piacenza. Big old rivalry between Civitanova and Piacenza, protagonists in last 20 years of great playoff challenges. 28 wins for Lube and 18 for Wixo Lpr in the history. In Regular season Giampaolo Medei’s team won both the games in civitanova and in Piacenza, both the games at the tie break. With Osmany Juantorena who won the Trofeo Gazzetta, Lube is the favourite of this series, but will need to be careful versus Wixo Lpr Piacenza, a team who can defeat every team in Superleague.

Azimut Modena – Revivre Milano. In previous 8 matches between Modena and Milano, only 1 win for Andrea Giani’s team. In this season in last game between these two teams Revivre Milano won at PalaYamamay on the home turf at tie break over Radostin Stoytchev’s team, who’s still struggling with injuries. The Gialloblù will try to fought back in this playoff series, they are still the favourites (3rd place for Modena, 6th place for Milano), but Revivre will count on Nimir Abdel-Aziz at 100%.
