Budowlani are currently in second place in the Tauron Liga with 42 points (14 wins, three losses) accumulated. All they have to do on Sunday to keep their spot is win one set. UNI Opole are right behind them, in third place, with 39 (13 wins, three losses), and need a clean, three-set victory to tie their points total while beating their set ratio. They, however, have one game in hand over Budowlani, so any ground gained on Sunday could prove extremely important by the end of the regular season.
The main sensations of the Polish League this season, UNI Opole get to Sunday's encounter in great form. Undefeated in their last four matches, they have only one setback in their last 14 Tauron Liga games.
Budowlani's moment is also positive, especially considering that less than two weeks ago the team triumphed in the Polish Cup, winning its first title in five years. In the Tauron Liga, the team from Łódź boasts a three-match winning streak and nine victories in their last ten encounters.
