It starts from the victory of Zaksa 3-1 in the first leg, Perugia must necessarily win full and then play the golden set to qualify for the final. With any other result at the Finals in Turin, the Polish team will go.
Formation to be decided for Andrea Anastasi. The Juventus coach, together with his staff, will make all the necessary assessments in these last two training sessions before composing the starting seven. A possible option could be the one with Giannelli in the direction, Herrera diagonally, Russo and Flavio pair of centre-backs, Leon and Semeniuk as receivers and Colaci as free.

The Finnish coach Sammelvuo shouldn’t make any changes to the line-up of eight days ago in Kędzierzyn-Koźle and therefore Janusz should be in the match at the start of the match, Kaczmarek diagonally, Pashitskii and Smith centrally, Sliwka and Bednorz spikers in place four and Free Shoji.
