Tomorrow, Wednesday 18 January, the Del Monte® Coppa Italia A3 will start with the Quarter Finals. The draw includes eight teams. The best four classified of each of the two groups are competing at the end of the first leg of the Regular Season, but only in the Semi-finals will there be cross-matches between the Clubs of the White and Blue Groups
To break the ice, with the kick-off at 19.30, the challenge between two teams of the Blue Group, the winter champions of Farmitalia Catania and the fourth seeded group, or OmiFer Palmi, which in the Regular Season has won four of the previous six, but not last Sunday. In fact, in the third round of return, the Sicilian sextet won 3-1 between the friendly walls.
At 20.30, the second and third strengths of the Girone Bianco will also compete in an inside-out match at the end of the first leg. Abba Pineto receives a visit from Monge-Gerbaudo Savigliano, always beaten in the previous three, all in the Regular Season. The hosts remember the A2 Cup Finals they lost against Taviano in 2005/06 and against Milan in 2006/07.
At 20.30 the Girone Bianco offers the derby between Vigilar Fano winter champions and Med Store Tunit Macerata, qualified with the last slot. The challenge is renewed for the sixth time, with a favorable balance for Macerata thanks to 4 victories and only 1 defeat in the Regular Season (gained in the current season at the tie break). The Fanesi bulletin board features an A2 Italian Cup won in 1999/00 thanks to a 3-0 win over Taranto.
At 20.30 Sieco Service Ortona and Maury’s Com Cavi Tuscania meet, second and third force of the Blue Group at the end of the first leg. The Abruzzese boast an A2 Cup semifinal in 2014/15, but were eliminated by Vibo Valentia at the PalaLeombroni in Chieti, while the Viterbo side last year left the scene in the A3 trophy with Grottazzolina one step away from the final.
