A top-end clash between the second and the third in the current standings will open the penultimate 21st leg of the Italian men’s volleyball SuperLega Credem Banca on Saturday evening. Rana Verona still have a mathematical chance of winning the regular season, which goes through defeating table leaders Sir Susa Scai Perugia. Should the reigning club world and European champions bring home two or three points, they will secure the first place in the final regular season standings and, with that, a direct ticket to next season’s CEV Champions League, one leg before the end. Another five matches are set to be played on Sunday, February 22.

“I expect a battle, with Perugia coming here mindful of their two losses this year. We just need to bring our best volleyball back onto the court to face them, while also trying to adapt to any changes they make. I expect a focused match from us against an opponent even more eager to do well after having fallen short in our head-to-head matches this season.” Fabio Soli, head coach of Rana Verona
“It's an important match, in my opinion, especially for our growth, regardless of the standings. It's true that we're there, and it's now our goal to try to finish first, but regardless of the standings, it's another important test because it's another of those great matches to play in Verona, against what I consider, along with Trento, the strongest team. We'll try to enjoy this match. I always try to enjoy and have fun with the great, tough matches, regardless of the technical difficulties we'll encounter. The battle between serve and reception will prove decisive.” Massimo Colaci, libero of Sir Susa Scai Perugia
