Tours : 0
Schönenwerd : 0
Before the match
19 h 51. The first leg necessarily gives confidence to the Swiss, whose European history is very young. If it had not won, Schöni's team, as it is nicknamed, had shaken the TVB. “We don't have the budget of a team like Tours and we are considered outsiders. Nevertheless, we can not only create problems for big teams, but also win.throws as well as coach Adriatic Kajtazi.
19 h 45. On the TVB side, the sharp Ryan Sclater is not yet 100% ready to play a match, and Antoine Pothron is uncertain for this meeting. He is warming up but without much intensity for the moment. For Schönenwerd, Luca Ulrich does not appear on the scoresheet, although he had shone in the first leg with 17 points scored.
19 h 42. TVB is the favorite in this 16e final, but his difficulty in winning the first leg calls for caution. “On paper, we are stronger, but we always have to prove it”warns Marcelo Fronckowiak, the Touraine coach.

19 h 35. Beyond qualification, a victory would also do a lot of good mentally for the Tourangeaux, who are having a very delicate start to the season in the championship. They are also left with a defeat suffered in Tourcoing on Saturday (3-1). But we remember that last year, it was the great European debut that launched the TVB season. Again?
The different possible scenarios
The TVB will qualify in 8e finally if:
- He wins this return match 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2.
- He loses in the tie-break but wins the golden set
Any other result would eliminate the Touraine club, which would be a disappointment.
19 h 30. Good evening everyone and welcome to this live, to follow the 16the return final of the CEV Cup between Tours Volley-Ball and Schönenwerd! Winners of the first leg in Switzerland a week ago, in the tie-break (2-3), the Tourangeaux seek to validate their qualification for the next round.
