At home versus Lube

Regular season fifth Round of SuperLega Credem Banca 2022/23 between Itas Trentino and Cucine Lube Civitanova will be played on Thursday 20 October at the BLM Group Arena. The match was included in the calendar on that date because on the one originally scheduled (October 30) the two teams will be in Cagliari to play the Final Four of Del Monte® Supercoppa 2022. Kick-off scheduled for 20.30: live on Rai Sport + (channel 58 DGTV), Radio Dolomiti and live streaming on the OTT Volleyball World Tv platform.
HERE ITAS TRENTINO After two rather unfortunate away matches, which reserved only one point in the standings, the Gialloblù are back to play in front of their own public to face the first big home match of the season. However, Lube’s landing at the BLM Group Arena will still find an Itas Trentino in emergency, because it lacks the titular setter Riccardo Sbertoli, who will be kept at rest after the abdominal injury accused last week. In the control room there will therefore be room again for the young Niccolò Depalma (son of art, born in 2002).
“We know that the moment in which we find ourselves is complicated for a variety of reasons, but all the more reason we want to show what we are made of and we will try to have our say to the end with the weapons we currently have at our disposal, first against Lube and then also on Sunday with Cisterna – said the coach Angelo Lorenzetti -. Compared to the Piacenza match, we have a few more days of work in our legs between Depalma and the forwards; I ask my players to give their best and do the simple things as best they can in order to take a further step forward, in the hope that the public will be able to lead us to do well even the difficult ones “.
The team will complete the preparation for the match between training sessions this afternoon and Thursday morning at the BLM Group Arena, once again bringing the Serie B setter Bernardis from UniTrento Volley on the bench as an alternative to Depalma. Trentino Volley will take the field on this occasion for the 947th official match ever and will go in search of the 657th overall victory: currently it has 343 at home and 313 away.
