According to the schedule, Kuzeyboru club will face Dinamo Zagreb in the European Volleyball Cup CEV Cup 2024-2025.
Kuzeyboru will play at home in this match. Notably, the CEV Cup does not limit foreign players. Therefore, fans hope that the main striker Tran Thi Thanh Thuy will be used by coach Mehmet in this match. If she is allowed to play, the 27-year-old hitter will be the first Vietnamese volleyball player to play in the European Volleyball Cup C2.
With Kuzeyboru, this team has not shown convincing performance in the first rounds of the national championship. Currently, after 7 rounds, the team that Thanh Thuy is playing for has won 4, lost 3, has 13 points and is ranked 6th on the rankings. Kuzeyboru has 10 points.
On the other side, their opponent is Dinamo Zagreb - a highly rated team. Dinamo Zagreb is currently leading the Croatian national volleyball championship with a perfect record after 5 rounds. Therefore, this will be a challenge that is predicted to be difficult for Kuzeyboru.
As for Thanh Thuy, Vietnamese fans began to worry when the main striker born in 1997 was not used much when he only played in 1/7 of Kuzeyboru's matches. That was the loss against Vakifbank and Thanh Thuy's playing time was not much, not having the opportunity to prove her ability.
In the remaining 6 matches, the Binh Duong player only appeared on the bench and was not used by coach Mehmet Bedestenlioglu for a single minute.
Audiences expect Thanh Thuy to have the opportunity to test herself in the C2 Cup arena in the context that the organizers do not limit foreign players. However, coach Mehmet certainly still needs to calculate carefully so that Kuzeyboru can get a good result against Dinamo Zagreb.
The match between Kuzeyboru and Dinamo Zagreb will take place at 23:00 today (November 5).
