4.LP SALO is still missing their most experienced player, 41 year young ukrainian setter Viktoriia Tuchashvili because injury. Their setters Saana Virtanen and Irina Mäkinen are together 34 years old.

"After three matches we set two goals: to challenge Vakifbank ISTANBUL and Vero Volley MONZA better than in first encounters and win ASPTT MULHOUSE at home. I see still our guests as favourites and we need to do our best to achieve win. But it is realistic goal for us. We had good experience in our last Champions League match in Istanbul."

Tomi Lemminkäinen
Head Coach of LP SALO

"This is the match at home, that we have waited most. We had a taste of winning set in France and we have been growing up our hunger for game win after that. Great evening coming as we can also have again spectators in our hall. We need to believe and play in our top level to win."
