The time has come. Unipolsai Superleague Playoffs Semifinal Game 5 between Diatec Trentino and Sir Safety Conad Perugia is scheduled for tomorrow Saturday 22nd april at 18 at PalaTrento. Will be a classic no tomorrow game, the only chance for these two great teams to reach Cucine Lube Civitanova in the Superleague Final. Last wednesday at PalaEvangelisti in Perugia Lorenzo Bernardi’s team took home Game 4 with authority, but at PalaTrento will be different. On the home turf, Trento is still undefeated in this season, and they will not surrender easily. Both teams, with the elimination of Azimut Modena by the hands of Lube in Semifinal, will be part of next season Champions League, a great goal for both teams in season, whatever will be in Game 5. In a sold out PalaTrento these two great powerhouses will give all they will have to clinch the Unipolsai Superleague Big Final spot.
