Getting to play the most important matches of the season without facing any opponent for over a week brings with it the inevitable risk of losing the match rhythm; and so, while their opponents are giving themselves a beating in the first playoff phase, Yuasa Battery and Banca Macerata take advantage of the opportunity to avoid this risk: Gabbanelli and his teammates are in fact waiting to play the promotion play-off against Mantua, starting from 7 April with a match 1 to be held in Veneto. For Grottazzolina, however, the possibilities of bringing forward game 1 of the semi-final to April 7 are linked to the possibility that none of the quarter-finals reach game 3, a rather unlikely circumstance given the leveling of the teams that reached the hot phase. Otherwise, meet at the palas in Via Fonte San Pietro on Thursday 11th, at 8.30pm.
