That is because draw put together Minsk and Soligorsk already in the 1/8 finas. It will be a remake from the Championship series of last year’s national league where Minsk was eventually crowned Belarus national champion after five matches.
These sides also crossed their ways in the semifinals of the national cup last November and again Minsk had the upper hand but only after five and close sets 3-2 (17-25, 31-29, 25-22, 17-25, and 15-12). Therefore the derby coming up in January and prolonging this rivalry shall be very interesting and exciting.

Parnu VK – LatinaCalcit
Kamnik – Selver Tallin
