“We are very excited about this match as there is always a great atmosphere there in Poland” says head coach Alexander Waibl. “We know our opponents will be very motivated as they play in front of their fans and they surely want to take revenge after losing here in Dresden” he adds.
DRESDNER SC scored indeed a 3:2 home win some weeks ago but Tauron MKS has made some changes since that day, as Belgian Charlotte Leys has returned to play as outside hitter following the recovery of libero Krystyna Strasz. Moreover, middle-blocker Milena Stacchiotti has switched to the wing position to stabilize Tauron defense.
As for DRESDNER SC, Kayla Banwarth will replace libero Myrthe Schoot who is currently injured. The team got the right boost of confidence after downing in straight sets KÖPENICKER SC in the last round of the Bundesliga and will be supported by a group of fans who are traveling to Poland together with the players and the coaching staff.
The expectations for this clash are really high as DRESDNER SC could stretch to the tie-break its game with group leader Eczacibasi VitrA ISTANBUL a couple of weeks ago while Tauron MKS celebrated a memorable 3:2 win over Azerrail BAKU, another major contender for the final crown in this year’s CEV Volleyball Champions League.
