Overview
Grupa Azoty Chemik POLICE have their work cut out for them. First they will have to beat VakifBank at their home turf in three or four sets, then they would have to win the golden set to advance to the semifinals. VakifBank have to 'only' win two sets, but according to head coach Giovanni Guidetti, it isn't all as simple as that.
Guidetti: ''It is the first big appointment of the season. That's why we are super excited, we are training very hard. In Police we played a great match but for sure we didn't see the real Chemik Police so we are waiting a difficult match, much stronger opponent in İstanbul''.
VakifBank Serbian Setter Maja Ognjenovic: ''We won the first match in Police. But I'm sure that Chemik will push much more now in Istanbul because first of all they have nothing to lose. Probably we are thinking that this number 12 (Olga Strantzali) can play. So maybe their attack can be stronger. Also, I'm sure that they will start to play more with middles. So, I think that we will be ready for all these details that they will start to do. I think that everybody knows how much this match is important. I mean we are not thinking that we are already in semifinal, there is one more match to win''.
- If VakifBank passes the QF round, they will be in the semi-finals for the ninth time in a row.
- VakifBank won the last 14 games played in the Champions League.
- Giovanni Guidetti has 490 wins with VakifBank.
