The league will resume after the Italian cup weekend for Castellana Grotte, who intends on putting an end to a negative run of results (6 games without a point). The good news for this must-win game is that coach Fanizza will have setter Matteo Pedron back after spending three rounds on the sideline suspended. Castellana is now out of the top 8 and the aim is to get right back into the playoffs zone.

“This is a crucial game for us – said outside hitter Michele Morelli who was at Cantù last season and scored 28 points against them in the 3-1 win last 23 November – We need maximum determination and focus. We have to play at a high level but I am confident because having Pedron back and having had a break, we had time to work on some schemes. It will be tough in Cantù but I feel up for it, I am sure we will do well”.
