Starting time at 20.30 p.m.

2. The points to be won in this occasion are particularly important for Trentino Itas that at the moment is in the second place in the ranking together with Fenerbahce. So as to keep fuelling the dream for the qualification to the quarter final (where all the first classified of the five rounds and the best three second access), a victory within at least four sets is needed. Because in the next turn the yellow-blue team will play the direct match in Turkey against Fenerbahce (January 26th).
