Mote has its own, rather pragmatic view of the competition between the two clubs, which is often accompanied by great emotions.

“I enjoyed my time in Friedrichshafen and met a lot of great people there.

Please forgive me if I don't feel the rivalry quite as much as others, ”he said.

The previously injured Tim Carle in the outside attack and Anton Brehme in the middle block could make their season debut with the Berliners.

"Both are again a serious option," said coach Cedric Enard, the 45-year-old coaching the volleys in the fourth season.

The last time both teams faced each other in April in the playoff final for the German championship.

The BR Volleys decided the series Best of five with 3-0 victories unexpectedly sovereign for themselves.

"We can play better and we will show that too," said Lebedev.
