Overview
Defending European champions and reigning world champions Cucine Lube Civitanova are up against Grupa Azoty Kedzierzyn-Kozle in the second quarterfinal of the week at the Eurosuole Forum.
Having finished top of their pool and undefeated in the 4th Round, the Polish side earned home advantage for the second leg, owing to Lube's second place in their pool after losing to Perugia.
And while Lube are going after their third European champions title (after successes in 2002 and 2019) Kedzierzyn-Kozle are looking to for their first. The closest the Polish side have ever come to a European trophy was when they finished runners-up to Sisley Treviso in the 2011 CEV Cup.
