Must win games

Gioia is facing a crucial first month of the year as it fights to stay in the A2. Indeed, in January, it will face no less than four teams having the same target: Cavriago and Bassano at home, Mantova and Città di Castello away. Given how tight this league can be, January might not be decisive but taking points against those teams would be a good idea, because the points taken are points the opponent won’t have at the end of the regular season.
