Guaguas

The Spanish volleyball team Guaguas, ahead of the first Round of 16 match in the Champions League, represents a team with a striking contrast in results at the national and European levels. In the group stage of the Champions League, Guaguas unexpectedly suffered a tie-break defeat, 2:3 against Ceske Budejovice, leading to the loss of first place in the group in favour of the Polish team Jastrzebski Wegiel and progressing to the Round of 16.

In other significant Champions League matches, Guaguas also lost to Jastrzebski Wegiel with a score of 0:3 and fell to Lüneburg with a score of 1:3, finishing the group-stage with a 3-3 result.

However, within the Spanish championship, Guaguas presents a completely different picture. With a secure first place and a result of 15 victories with only 1 loss in 16 rounds, the team passionately dominates at the national level. Since 12th December, Guaguas has a series of 10 wins within 11 matches, although their latest games have been fairly challenging. For instance, they secured a 3:2 victory in a match against Emeve Lugo and defeated Manacor with a score of 3:1.

Ahead of the first Round of 16 match in the Champions League playoffs, Guaguas will need to focus on improving their international results, considering their impressive performances at the national level.

Lvì Praha

Before the first Round of 16 playoffs match in the volleyball Champions League, the Czech team from Prague appears in top form, boasting a string of 11 consecutive victories, including Champions League matches.

In the Czech championship, Prague confidently holds first place, with a tally of 17 victories and only 2 losses, leading their closest competitor Kladno by 7 points and Liberec by 10 points.

Match prediction: Guaguas - Lvì Praha

Both clubs are leading very convincingly in their respective championships and finished the Champions League group-stage with a 3-3 result, losing heavily to the leaders of their respective groups. According to the odds, the clear favourites are the Spaniards, but Prague currently boasts a streak of 11 consecutive victories. I’m expecting a fight from the Czech team in the first match, putting my bet on their plus handicap.
