None of the main rivals in the fight to stay up got any points this weekend, making it all good for Mantova. The latter came back from 2-0 down to win it at the tie-break, and go two places up in the table above Massa and Bassano. In order to obtain the certainty of the playout, Mantova needs just two more points. It will hunt for those points next week against Santa Croce.
