Tomorrow evening at 8:30 PM Italian time (live on DAZN and SkySport) at Palaverde, the "Panthers" of A. Carraro Imoco Volley will play their first match of the second phase of Group A in the CEV Champions League for the 2024-25 season, against Bulgarian Maritsa Plovdiv, whom they defeated 3-0 away in the first encounter. The "Panthers", still undefeated this season after 17 matches in the championship, Supercup, and Champions League (with only 4 sets lost), continue their streak of 14 consecutive Champions League victories between last season and the current one. In Group A after the first three rounds, A. Carraro Imoco leads with 3 wins (1 set lost in the last match won 3:1 against Rzeszow in Poland), followed by Rzeszow with 2 wins, Maritsa Plovdiv with 1 win, and at the bottom of the standings is Croatian Mladost Zagreb still without a victory.

"This is our last test before the Club World Championship," emphasized Moki De Gennaro on the eve of the match, "Therefore, we will play an important match for us, not only to consolidate our standing and first place in the group, but also to maintain high concentration and fine-tune our mechanisms before the trip to China. We are going through an excellent team period; we must continue in the same rhythm, be good at asserting ourselves in every match, and even add something more to our teamwork to continue growing - the match with Plovdiv will be very useful in this regard."
