The defense of Scudetto goes on. We start again from the 1-1 situation in the Finale Scudetto series in the best of five matches. The Italian champions of Cucine Lube Civitanova will take the field tomorrow, Sunday 7 May (at 6 pm with live coverage from Rai Sport, Volleyballworld.tv and Radio Arancia) against Itas Trentino for the third round, at the BLM Group Arena in Trento.
The Gialloblù won the debut match between the friendly walls in four sets, but last Thursday at the Eurosuole Forum the red and whites responded with a success in the tie break, bringing the series back to a draw. Whoever wins in the third challenge will have a titled chance in Civitanova Marche in the fourth confrontation.
Away fans
Expected almost 90 Predators in the stands of the BLM Group Arena in Trento. More than half of the supporters will leave by coach.
The departure times of the coach, Sunday 7 May:
9.30 am from the upper parking lot of the Macerata Oasis;
10 am from the Eurosuole Forum car park in Civitanova.
Trento’s latest formation
At the Eurosuole Forum coach Angelo Lorenzetti deployed Sbertoli to dribble diagonally with Kaziyski opposite, Lavia and Michieletto in the band, D’Heer (in place of the injured Lisinac) and Podrascanin in the centre, Laurenzano free. During the match there was space for Cavuto, Dzavoronok (lined up opposite), Nelli and Pace.
Ivan Zaytsev speaks (Cucine Lube Civitanova):
“The Scudetto Finals are complicated, we will play in Trento on Sunday and Itas will not repeat Thursday’s serving mistakes. They will be incisive, we will have to be good at handling reception to allow De Cecco’s ‘little hands’ to continue to do magic. It will be essential to unleash heavy jokes. The teams know each other, the details and the mental factor will make the difference. We will have to dodge the tension drops that marked the third set in the previous matches”.
