After two matches (and two victories) within the friendly walls of the PalaFrancescucci in Casnate con Bernate, the Pool Libertas Cantù is back on the road for the Saturday night match. The lights of the PalaBigi come back on after a year of closure for renovations for the match against the hosts Conad Reggio Emilia. The Reggio players, stopped last Sunday due to cases of Covid in their opponents, come from two consecutive victories: the first at home against Agnelli Tipiesse Bergamo and the second at the tie-break in Brescia against Consoli McDonald’s.

Coach Francesco Denora presents the challenge like this: “Let’s go back to the away game on a complicated pitch, we’re going to the reigning champions anyway. Reggio Emilia has always scored points, save for two away games, has a long squad with many solutions, especially offensive ones, and it will be a really complicated obstacle. We are confident: the 4 consecutive victories have also raised our ambitions, and we want to go and have our say. It will be necessary to start the sets on the right foot, and avoid the chases of the last two matches. The result is wide open, there will be suffering and fun, but this is also the beauty of this championship”.
