· VK ČEZ Karlovarsko is currently leading the local Czech League and they have lost only one of eighteen games so far.
· In their last home game in the Champions League the Czech team faced VT Decospan Menen and beat them 3:0, which happened to be Karlovarsko’s first victory in the best international league for top European teams.
· The Czech footprint can be found in the history of Karlovarsko’s Polish opponents – Petr Zapletal, Jiří Popelka and last but not least the team’s CEO Jakub Novotný who played as an opposite for Kozle.
· VK ČEZ Karlovarsko still has a hypothetical chance to forward to the knockout stage of the Champions League, yet they are very familiar with the undeniable strength of Kedzierzyn Kozle.
· Before the start of this Champions League season t he Czech set for themselves the goal to secure the third place in the Pool D, which would move them straight to the CEV Cup quarter-finals.
· This game has raised a great interest in local fans, so once again we expect a great atmosphere at Hala míčových sportů.
Jiří Novák"It is another very difficult game for us in which we will face the two-time Champions League winner. The game is very catchy for our fans and they are very excited to see one of the world-class teams. We will try our best and take advantage of our home gym. We have nothing to lose so we want to play with our minds open and support it with full commitment and fighting spirit.”
