#CLVolleyM Squads Faces Off in Italy, No Worries in Poland and Germany

As the first leg of the #CLVolleyM playoffs concludes, teams now shift their attention back to their domestic leagues. This weekend presents crucial matchups, with a headline clash in Italy between two #CLVolleyM squads, while Poland’s top teams look to solidify their standings, and Lüneburg builds on their European success in Germany.

In one of the biggest domestic clashes of the weekend, the CEV Champions League Volley quarterfinalist Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia will take on Allianz Milano in the 20th round of the Italian SuperLega. Perugia currently leads the standings with 48 points, showcasing their dominance throughout the season. While they have been waiting for their opponent in the #CLVolleyM quarterfinals, this match will be a good opportunity for them to test their level.

For Milano, this match carries extra significance after suffering a tough 3-1 loss against Halkbank Ankara in the CEV Champions League Volley playoffs. Looking to bounce back, Milano must overcome a challenging opponent in Perugia, which will be no easy task. With both teams carrying European ambitions, this matchup is set to be a fierce battle on Italian soil.

In the 25th week of Poland’s PlusLiga, all three #CLVolleyM squads, Jastrzębski Węgiel, Aluron CMC Warta-Zawiercie, and PGE Projekt Warszawa, are set for relatively straightforward fixtures. Jastrzębski Węgiel, the current league leader, will look to recover after suffering a defeat in their last match. While their position at the top remains intact, they cannot afford another slip-up as the competition remains tight. Meanwhile, Warta-Zawiercie and Warszawa aim to continue their strong performances and secure crucial wins.

In Germany, SVG Lüneburg is riding high after a dramatic 3-2 victory over BR Volleys in the #CLVolleyM playoffs, giving them an advantage heading into the quarterfinals. This weekend, they will look to build on that momentum in the 21st leg of the Bundesliga as they continue to push for the top position in the standings. Their recent triumph on the European stage serves as a confidence boost as they return to domestic action.

With the CEV Champions League Volley Men playoffs underway, teams must carefully manage their domestic and continental ambitions. Perugia and Milano’s Italian showdown is the weekend’s biggest matchup, while Poland’s top teams look to maintain stability. In Germany, Lüneburg aims to capitalize on their European success. As teams prepare for the decisive rounds, strong league performances remain vital to keeping their momentum alive.
