Stade Poitevin POITIERS takes on Russian armada
After having a tough match in the national league this past weekend with AS CANNES, Stade Poitevin POITIERS will dispose of the complete roster to challenge Zenit KAZAN after libero Carlos Teixeira and middle blocker Borislav Petrovic recovered from their respective injuries.
The match will take place at “St. Eloi” sports hall, not the one where the team played its home matches in the prelims, as the other, main arena is not available.
“It looks like we are going to play another away match” says head coach Olivier Lecat whose Russian counterpart, Vladimir Alekno, is well-known in France having spent quite many years playing for TOURS VB as middle blocker.
