The playoff quarter-final series between Padova and Sora will begin tomorrow. At stake a place in the best four to go one step closer for the A1 dream. The two teams arrived at the playoffs with different spirit: for Sora it was a target happily and deservedly reached why it is almost a nightmare for Padova, which seemed destined to go straight up by winning the regular season.

“Our motto in this post season is ‘maximum respect for everyone, but no fear of anyone’ – said GM Alberico Vitullo – This is true for Padova as well, although we are certainly aware of their worth. We know that if both team play at their best, they would have more chances to go through considering their potential and the fact they start off with a 1-0 advantage. But we will do everything possible to go against the predictions and we believe we have our chances”.
