News
The Bulgarians from Maritza Plovdiv have travelled to Istanbul to face Pool E’s unbeaten leader Eczacibasi Dynavit in the Super Match of the Week. Eczacibasi will be looking to extend their impressive 22 matches unbeaten run in the group stage of the CEV Champions League Volley, dating back to February 2017.
The previous three meetings between these two clubs have been dominated by the side from Türkiye but not uneventful, winning all three in straight sets. Before the match earlier this season, they also met in the second round of qualification for the 2016/17 Champions League group stage. Eczacibasi VitrA ISTANBUL won both games against Maritza PLOVDIV 3-0 and would go on to win the bronze medal match that season.

Ana Cristina De Souza“This is a very important match not only for playing the Playoffs, but also for showing our best game. We know our mistakes in the last few games and we worked on them. We also know that we are much stronger with the two newcomers to the team. As always we will try to do our best.”
