Negrini CTE Acqui Terme’s next league match is at home to Sav Trebaseleghe (PD), led by former opposite Davide Cester, who played a key role in the Acqui Terme jersey for three seasons, one in Serie B and two in Serie A3.

The Veneto team is currently second to last in the standings with just two tie-break wins against Belluno and Savigliano, while the Acqui Terme team has fallen to fourth place after a home defeat to Belluno on Matchday 8.

In light of this result, and especially of this disappointing performance, it’s crucial for Pallavolo La Bollente to stay on top. This is especially important to avoid losing ground on their direct rivals for the top four spots in the Coppa Italia, especially since the next round will be against league leaders Reggio Emilia.

Michal Petras, who missed the field last Sunday due to a previous bout of the flu, gave the update: “I wasn’t able to play, partly because I had a pretty bad case of the flu. I was in bed with a fever for seven days, so unfortunately I couldn’t play in the last match. But now I’ve recovered, I’m training, and I’m ready for the next match.”
