After the 0:3 at second-placed SSC Palmberg Schwerin, the VCW will continue at home against the ETV Hamburger Volksbank Volleys on Saturday, December 27. In the last game of the year, the VCW is the clear favorite against the newly promoted team from Hamburg and the fans are looking for another win after Christmas and at the turn of the year. They will certainly give the VCW women of coach Tigin Yağlioğlu plenty of support.
