Play Off Challenge UnipolSai

Top Volley Latina still on track. they need a great game at PalaYamamay, they stepped up and did it. Daniele Bagnoli’s team gained the chance to play Game 3 on the home turf, winning the seventh game on milano in 10 matches. Some players made the difference for Latina, Yuki Ishikawa was terrific in fourth set, driving Top Volley Latina to Game 3. Revivre Milano should turn the page and focus on the upcoming Game 3 at PalaBianchini in Latina, after the bad performance of last friday on the home turf. In Game 2 Luca Monti’s team missed the key plays late in fourth set, having the chance to force the game to tie break, but losing it in the fourth. Will not easy for Revivre Milano to grab a win in Latina, despite the fact that Revivre defeated two times, in regular season and in Game 1, Latina on their home turf.

Kioene Padova lost the chance to close the series on the home turf and advancing to Quarterfinals, losing Game 2 at tie break at Kioene Arena in Padova. In fourth set Kioene was in front, needing only two points to close the match, but missing the chances and losing the game. In the previous matches Padova is still in front in the count of the wins, with 12 on 20 matches, nut in this upcoming no tomorrow game Valerio Baldovin’s team will need to step up, if they want to reach the quarterfinals. Biosì Indexa Sora is a team who never give up, a team who loves the comebacks, as showed in previous Serie A2 playoffs, where they came back in the big final versus Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia. It seems that coach Maurizio Colucci in place of Bruno Bagnoli gave some more responsabilities to the team, taking their duties and stepping up in the key moments. The tie break win in Padova showed exactely this attitude. Running the great moment of great shape of opposite Radzivon Miskevich, February MVP, Sora can do something important in this upcoming Game 3.

Serie A2 UnipolSai

Sol Lucernari Montecchio Maggiore after a suffered win in Roma versus Club Italia Crai, and above all after reaching Videx Grottazzolina in Pool Salvezza standings at 19 points, will host the leader of the standings Basi Grafiche Geosat Lagonegro, already defeated in the previous game of the Pool. Legonegro is perfect in the second part of the Pool, will need only just another little step to avoid the relegation and stay in Serie A2.

Materdominivolley.it Castellana Grotte is in seventh place in Pool Salvezza standings, with only one point of advantage on Grottazzolina-Montecchio Maggiore, and in this 8th round will face a team who always defeated Materdomini, GoldenPlast Potenza Picena. The team from Marche is in fifth place behind Aurispa Alessano, one point in front, and Centrale del Latte McDonald’s Brescia, two points in front.

Centrale del Latte McDonald’s Brescia lost two games in a row, on the home turf versus GoldenPlast Potenza Picena and on the road versus Sieco Service Ortona, losing alot of advantage from the regular season. In this 8th round Breascia will face Aurispa Alessano, in front 3-2 in the matches in Serie A2. Vincenzo Mastrangelo’s team, 5 wins and 2 losses in tie break, is one of the most regular teams in the Pool.

Pool Libertas Cantù will face a team already relegated in Serie B1, the young Azzuri’s team, who will play in Cantù without pressure focusing on the game without thinking to the result. Club Italia Crai Roma will salute Serie A2, the federal team has some trouble s in the season, some injuries in a very high level tournament, where the experience is much important than youngness.

Videx Grottazzolina after the deal with cuban hammer Raydel Poey, who had an outstandings performance last saturday at Eurosuole Forum versus GoldenPlast Potenza Picena, with 44 points in the Grottazzolina win, will face on the home turf Sieco Service Ortona step by step trying to reach the direct save, with an advantage of 4 points on Centrale del Latte McDonald’s Brescia. Let’s see what will happen with Nunzio Lanci’s team, who already defeated Videx in the previous game of the Pool.
