Great series guaranteed ahead between Potenza and Vibo. The first match in Potenza on Sunday already looks clutch as the series will be played on the best of three. The two teams met three times, and three times it was extremely tight. While Potenza won the two regular season matches, Vibo won the Italian Cup final A2. Vibo is in great shape, they’re coming off a 3-0 win over Corigliano, and have just signed Polish spiker Bartosz Janeczek. On the other hand, big blow for Potenza as Gemmi injured his hand in training.
“Playing in the playoffs quarter-finals for the second year running is a great satisfaction – said President Giuseppe Massera – We had built a team to keep making progress step by step but the team clicked right from the start. We have always thought one game at a time and I’m sure we’ll manage to make it hard for our opponent like we’ve done in previous matches. The two teams know each other very well and they are used to fight. The games could be played on details, but I am not worried if we lose the home game because we have nothing to lose. It’s true the players do especially well at home, but they are not afraid on the road either”.
