Saturday night, Calcit Volley KAMNIK (SLO) will stand the chance to clinch the top spot of the table with a home win over Mladost ZAGREB (CRO). Bottom of the standing UOK Banjaluka Volley BANJA LUKA (BIH) and third-placed GEN-I Volley NOVA GORICA (SLO) will end the first half of the women’s main round on Sunday night. The hosts have not collected a single point for the standing in five matches they have contested so far.
Current competition leaders Nova KBM Branik MARIBOR (SLO) have their bye week. Therefore, they run the risk of dropping to second place behind their national rivals Calcit Volley.
