In order to go through to the next round of the Champions League, Piacenza will need to take at least a point as they travel to Romania to take on the group leader, Constanta, who is still unbeaten. In the first meeting, former Piacenza players Simeonov and Zhekov had made it real hard for the Italians. The games ended on a 2-3 score as Simeonov scored 25 points. If it was not to qualify, Piacenza would go down in the CEV Cup.
