Match i Skåne ikväll
22 feb 2018
With only five matches left in the grundserie, FVBK will need to value every set if they are to maintain third place in the league going into the playoffs. Matches versus Örkelljunga are always exciting, so yes, you can expect a battle tonight in the FORUM.
This will be the fourth time FVBK and ÖVK meet this season. The three previous matches have all gone FVBK's way, but that gives us no reason to be arrogant. The last match in Falkhallen was won 19-17 in the fifth set. We are well aware of the amount of quality ÖVK has in their team: three former national team players on the left side, a talented greek setter, a canadian middle blocker, poängmaskin Tomas Vilimas and a couple of stable liberos who constantly show improvement. ÖVK, like most teams in the Elitseries, have had to move around some players due to injuries. In the last match versus Södertelge, ÖVK spiker Patrik Ödvall showed that he can do a very good job as a middle blocker also!
FVBK has played four 5-set matches in a row now. Statistically speaking, we should be prepared for another long match tonight. And I believe the guys are ready for it. We know this is an important match for both squads and we know both teams are evenly matched. I see our guys learning to enjoy these types of challenges more and more, which in the long run is just as important as learning the game itself. A new test tonight!
ÖVK will be broadcasting a livestream of the match on their facebook page
