Lube travels to Novosibirsk for the Super Match of the Week

CEV Champions League Volley – Men Pool C leaders Cucine Lube Civitanova travels to Russia to meet Lokomotiv Novosibirsk in the 5^th Leg of the group stage in the Super Match of the Week.

Meetings between the two sides have up until now been quite balanced with the home team always managing to get the victory in front of the home fans. Earlier this Champions League season, Cucine Lube CIVITANOVA won the reverse fixture 3-0 in a match played on 1 December.

The Italians won 17 points from serves, including six by Marlon Yant Herrera, five by Ricardo Lucarelli Santos de Souza and four by Robertlandy Simon Aties.

All the facts and figures about both teams can be found in the dedicated Match Centre.

With one of their matches being postponed to later this week, these few days will be crucial for Lokomotiv Novosibirsk if they are to go into the last Leg still with a hope of advancing into the next round. Currently on 3 pts in Pool C, the Russians could climb the pool ladder if they manage a seemingly impossible mission of winning against Civitanova and Zaksa in the same week.

On the other hand, a win for Cucine Lube Civitanova would all but guarantee their place in the quarter finals.
