Euro Cup down to ultimate finish

The Euro Cup will see a special final on Saturday when fellow Naples based sides Posillipo and Acquachiara go down to the wire in front of a jam packed Felice Scandone pool in their hometown in leg 2 of the finals. And with both teams having drawn level 6-6 in game 1 two weeks ago this second leg will decide which team will add their trophy cabinet with a Euro Cup title. Will it extend the rich and large collection of Posillipo or is Acquachiara set to write history by claiming their first international price of the relatively young history of the team? In leg 1 it was Montenegrin centre-forward Filip Klikovac who tipped in a rebound on the last 6-on-5 for Posillipo levelling the score at 6-6 and setting up a thrilling finish to the finals series and the possibility of claiming huge success in this season. In front of a little less than 5,000 spectators both sides, who know each other so well will determine the first of European club trophy winners this season. The current 3rd seed (Acquachiara) and 6th seed (Posillipo) of the Italian league square off at 19.30 hrs  local time.
