European Cup preview
2016 CEV DenizBank Champions League
We have reached the sixth and last round of the group phase. Civitanova will be in Belgium to take on Roeselare without any pressure having already secured the first position. Trentino will also travel to Belgium but Stoytchev’s men need the win (on any score) to keep the French of Tours behind and stay top. Same situation for Modena. Beaten last week at the tie-break by Gdansk in Poland, Lorenzetti’s men will need the victory at home against the Slovenians of Ljubljana.
The draw for the Playoffs 12 will take place on Thursday 28 at 11am in Luxembourg.
