Modena - Monza

Italy - Superlega, Round 21

This is a golden opportunity for the Monza team, who will have a full roster at their disposal with the return of Davyskiba as a spiker and the chance to use German player Grozer as the second opposite. Modena will not have their strongest spiker Ngapeth this weekend as he has been disqualified by the federation due to disputes with Travica in the past.

Despite the misstep against Padua, where they played an excellent match, Monza is slightly favored this weekend. This is not only due to the absence of Ngapeth, who can contribute greatly in both attack and reception, but also because of the excellent attacking and blocking percentages that Vero Volley has been achieving in their recent matches. Monza also played an excellent friendly match during the weekend of the Italian Cup against Verona, one of the most in-form teams at the moment, and managed to win 3-1.

It will definitely not be an easy match since Modena's "temple" is a fortress for the Modenese, who always manage to play well with Rinaldi and Lagumdzija as thorns in the side of Vero Volley. However, without the French spiker, it will be a tough match as Marechal, the substitute, is certainly not up to the level of the current Olympic champion.
