Both Group A teams are heading into tomorrow's tie in a positive mindset, with the Tigers beating the Domadores 4-1 yesterday.

The Heroicos suffered back-to-back defeats to start the season but edged Caciques Venezuela 3-2 in their home clash earlier this month to boost their hopes of reaching the play-offs.

The two squads will be hoping to build on their recent victories at the Universal Sport Complex in Tashkent, with a defeat sure to provide a damaging blow to the chances of progressing from the group.

A victory would move them closer to group leaders Cuba who have two wins and one loss to date.

The fixture is the first of four confrontations during the fifth week of the season, with a double bill set to take place in Group B.

The France Fighting Roosters will seek to defend their unbeaten start to the season as their third match sees them take on Croatian Knights in Zadar.

Having suffered two defeats so far, the hosts will be looking to claim their first win in the Kresimir Cosic Hall.

Both the British Lionhearts and Italia Thunder have overcome the Knights, but suffered defeat to the Fighting Roosters.

They are now set to go head-to-head in their first meeting of the season at The Auditorium at Echo Arena in Liverpool.

The two Group B fixtures have been scheduled to take place on March 2.

The Russian based Patriot Boxing Team will go in search of their first victory of the season on the same day.

Indian Tigers are set to provide the opposition in Kazan, with both squads looking to bounce back from opening match losses to the defending champions Astana Arlans Kazakhstan.
