A win over Genova could enable Reggio Emilia to go directly to the playoffs quarter-finals without playing the first round (Loreto is in the coveted 7th place with 44 points and Reggio is just one behind). But this weekend’s opponent, Genova, is a tough client, currently standing in fifth position in the table. Reggio will need a breakthrough like they did in the first meeting between the two teams this season: Nuti and co had made a spectacular come-back from 2-0 to clinch it at the tie-break.
