Today, in the return match of the 1/8 Champions League volleyball, Spanish team Guaguas will play against Czech team Lvi Praha.

Lvi Praha

Heading into the return match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League volleyball, Lvi Praha faces a challenging task to restore spirit after a heavy defeat from Guaguas, which ended their impressive 11-game winning streak. In that match, the Czech team fought in each set, bringing the score to 23:24, but lost despite a strong finish, especially in the first set, where they recovered from a deficit of more than 5 points. In the group stage of the Champions League (CL), Lviv performed well, finishing with a 3-3 result and conceding to Lube Civitanova from Italy.

In the Czech national championship, the team dominates, occupying the top spot with 17 wins and only 2 losses, surpassing their closest pursuers Kladno and Liberec. Recent matches in the championship underline their strength: a confident win over Brno with a score of 3:0, a tense struggle with Prsibram ending in a 3:2 victory, as well as successful games against Ceske-Budejovice and Liberec with scores of 3:1.

Lvi Praha is approaching the upcoming European challenge with a strong national campaign behind them, though they need to rethink their strategy after their recent international defeat.

Gwagwas

The Spanish volleyball team Guaguas heads into the return match of the 1/8 Champions League finals with confidence, thanks to their convincing 3:0 victory over Lvi Praha in the first game. During this meeting, Gwagwas demonstrated their ability to turn the tide of the game during the finals, particularly noticeable in the first set, where leading by 23:17, they gave no chance for a comeback to their opponents. Now, to proceed to the quarterfinals, they only need to win a single set.

On the international level, Guaguas faced difficulties, notably suffering a defeat from Ceske-Budejovice and finishing the Champions League group stage with a 3-3 result, preventing them from taking the top spot in the group. Losses from Jastrzębski Węgiel and Luneburg emphasised these difficulties.

However, on a national level, Guaguas demonstrates quite different results, confidently holding the first place in the Spanish championship with 16 wins and only 1 loss. A string of 11 victories in the last 12 matches confirms their domination in the national championship, despite recent games being quite challenging for them.

Head-to-Head

The rivals played a very hard-fought match in the first meeting, but you wouldn't tell by the 3:0 score in favour of the Spanish club.

Match forecast Lvi Praha - Guaguas 

The Prague club had no official matches after the heavy defeat, whereas Gwagwas beat Unicaja 3:1. I think, if the Spaniards take the first set, they will introduce their second lineup, because after securing their spot in the quarterfinals, the Czechs, who have been playing decent volleyball, can still pull off a victory, albeit not with a score of 3:0 given the first match, this is an unlikely result. However, home ground is always an advantage.
