The return of the CEV Champions League Quarter-Finals is upon us, and the three SuperLega Credem Banca teams involved in the competition will be on the pitch on Wednesday (Civitanova and Perugia) and Thursday (Trento) to seek access to the Semi-finals. The games are still open for all three clubs who will be able to count on the support of their fans in the second leg.
Cucine Lube Civitanova chasing a comeback in the Quarter Finals of the CEV Champions League. Defeated last Tuesday 3-1 in Turkey, tomorrow, Wednesday 15 March (at 20.30 with Eurosport 2 live, discovery+) the Italian champions will host Halkbank Ankara at the Eurosuole Forum. Captain Luciano De Cecco and his companions will need a full victory (3-0 or 3-1) to reopen the challenge and play everything in the Golden Set. The other results are in vain, including the victory at the tie break.
The international atmosphere is back for Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia: fresh from Sunday’s victory against Civitanova in the championship, the bianconeri are ready to wear the Champions League outfit again. Tomorrow evening, Wednesday 15 February, at 20.00 at the PalaBarton, with live TV on Eurosport 1 and live streaming on Discovery+, kick-off of the return match of the Quarter Finals of the top continental competition reserved for clubs against the Germans of Berlin Recycling Volleys.
Fourth act of the season for the match between Trentino Itas and Grupa Azoty Kedzierzyn-Kozle. After facing each other twice in Pool D, Itas must secure a victory in order to boost their chances of qualifying on Thursday 16 March in Trento: by winning “from three” they would directly qualify, while by winning in the fifth set they will earn the chance to compete the qualification to the Golden Set.
