In Friday evening’s leg opener, InPost ChKS Chelm will host Energa Trefl Gdansk at 20:00 (19:00). Both sides will try to bounce back from losses earlier this week. The PlusLiga rookies are now on a three-game negative series, which pushed them down to second from the bottom, in 12th place on 6 and 2-7. Trefl are just above the edge of the playoff zone, in eighth place on 12 and 5-4.
Saturday’s program will serve off at 12:30 (11:30) with a game between table leaders Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie and table trailers Slepsk Malow Suwalki. Preparing for their upcoming appearance at the FIVB Volleyball Men’s Club World Championship in Brazil, last season’s silver medalists Aluron will try to recover from two consecutive losses on the road with a home win over a team that is also on a three-game losing streak, but managed to push two of its prominent opponents to tie-breaker resolutions. The squad from Zawercie has already played 12 matches and stands on top of the table on 24 and 8-4, while the guys from Suwalki trail in 14th place on 5 and 1-8.
Steam Hemarpol Politechnika Czestochowa, second from the bottom, in 13th place, also on 5 and 1-8, but with a set won more than Slepsk Malow, will play at home against last season’s bronze medalists PGE Projekt Warsaw, who are currently running in sixth place on 19 and 7-2. The game is on Saturday at 14:45 (13:45).
