Sunday’s game in Verona will be a special one, not only because this will be a derby but also because this will be a game between two teams aiming to stay up. Besides, there are curiously a couple of players originally from Padova who now play for Verona: Marco Meoni and Andrea Casarin. So far, Padova’s top scorer is Ventceslav Simeonov (48 points) while Verona has its main man in Robert Kromm (46 points).
Meanwhile, to prepare for this game, Padova played a friendly with Ljubljana. The Slovenians snatched it 3-2 in Abano Terme. Simeonov had another excellent game as Padova fought back from a 2-0 deficit to force a tie-break.
