Casa Modena – Andreoli Latina
PAST ENCOUNTERS: 24 (15-9 Modena)
Angelo Lorenzetti (coach Casa Modena): “We all want to enjoy the game with our fans. The Latina team is extremely motivated, this is an important game for them. I repeat what I had said in the first meeting : Latina has been unlucky. Their position in the table does not reflect their quality and level of play. This will be a very tough game, but we want to take points at home”.
Pieter Verhees (Andreoli Latina): “We’re going to Modena to win it. I really want to do well there because I have a friend of the national team on the other team. Besides, I will have a special fan in the stands. It will be important for us to play a good game in order to prepare at best the European Cup final”.
