Set to face off on Friday, at 19:00 local time (20:00 UTC), the teams are separated by only three points. They are just around the cutoff line for the playoffs, with Pałac appearing inside the qualification zone with 17 points (six wins, seven losses) and STAL Mielec just outside of it, ranking ninth, with 14 (five wins, eight losses).
Looking to defend their playoff spot, Pałac will be looking to return to winning ways in the Tauron Liga after dropping their last two matches to MOYA Radomka Radom and Sokół & Hagric Mogilno. The results made the team drop a spot, going from sixth to seventh.
French opposite Victoria Foucher is Pałac's leading scorer in the season with 138 points, while team captain and middle blocker Marta Pol ranks fifth among the Tauron Liga blockers with 38 stops.
Their opponents STAL Mielec enter Friday's encounter fresh from a victory over #VolleyWrocław that made them end a fourth-match winless streak. The positive result didn't alter their position in the standings, but got them closer to the qualification zone for the playoffs.
