Lokomotiv Avia (Plovdiv) plays today in a decisive rematch against Dinamo Bucharest in the CEV Cup tournament, and the Romanian media are paying serious attention not only to the course of the clash but also to the venue where it will be played ", the Plovdiv "Kolodrum".

According to publications in Romania, the match, scheduled for 6:00 PM, will be held in an "unusual hall" for the visiting team ", a velodrome that traditionally hosts international volleyball matches in Plovdiv. The enormous facility is described as a factor capable of influencing the rhythm of the game and the psychological state of the players, especially with strong support from the stands.

What happened in the first leg

In the first match in Bucharest, Dinamo secured a 3:0 victory, which puts Lokomotiv Avia in a do-or-die situation in front of their home crowd. The Romanians emphasize that this result gives them a significant advantage but at the same time requires concentration, as the Bulgarian team will be looking for an aggressive start and maximum pressure from the very first set.

What Lokomotiv Avia needs to do

To advance in the tournament, the Plovdiv team must win 3:0 or 3:1, which would lead to a decisive "golden set". Only success in this additional set will secure Lokomotiv's qualification for the next round. At the same time, Dinamo needs only two won sets to guarantee their place in the round of 16.

The atmosphere as a decisive factor

The "Kolodrum" is expected to be a serious weapon for Lokomotiv Avia. The club itself has already appealed for strong support, and in Romania, it is emphasized that the Plovdiv audience can turn the hall into a factor that will complicate Dinamo's task. Branimir Grozdanov, who arrived with Dinamo, is expected to make his official debut for the team, and on home soil.

Today is the day of the rematch. Lokomotiv Avia enters a European battle in which they must seek not just a victory, but a convincing success and psychological resilience until the very end.
