The A2 Credem Banca Promotion Play Offs can provide the verdict as early as Saturday 21 May, given that at 8.30 pm BAM Acqua S. Bernardo Cuneo and Conad Reggio Emilia will face each other in Piedmont for Game 3 of the Play Off Finals.
The victory yesterday, May 19, of Conad Reggio Emilia has further dug the furrow in the series, currently 2-0 in favor of the Emilians. After the victory in the Del Monte® Coppa Italia Serie A2, the Reggio team also caresses the dream of promotion to SuperLega Credem Banca: the victory in Race 1 for 3-1 at the debut in the series, repeated with the same score at PalaBursi di Rubiera in the second round, provides the team led by Fernando Garnica with three ‘match points’ available. A single success in the next races will be enough to crown a historic feat and hit a “double tricolor” with the Italian Cup already acquired months ago on the Cuneo field.
BAM Acqua S.Bernardo Cuneo can only reach the Olympus of volleyball with three victories: a difficult but not impossible task. Iacopo Botto and his teammates just have to roll up their sleeves and think one game at a time if they want to reopen the promotion discourse, selling dearly as of tomorrow, to avoid ending the season with a defeat in front of their audience. To do this they will need to rediscover the game and the compactness that made them arrive in the Play Off Final with four victories in as many games between Quarter and Semifinals.
The precedents, in perfect parity before Race 1, now play 6-4 in favor of the Emilians thanks also to the four victories over the five seasonal clashes. Cuneo is looking for its second victory against rivals, after the 3-0 at the Palasport di Cuneo on 6 March in the 9th return match.
