Emma Villas Codyeco will try to break the taboo of away games on Sunday. The Tuscan club is coming off a strong performance at the PalaParenti in Sunday afternoon’s 3-1 victory over Cantù. Coach Francesco Petrella’s team produced good percentages: 54% in attack and 50% in reception. The Tuscans scored 14 winners (6 by Ceban and 4 by Compagnoni) compared to Cantù’s 5. Emma Villas Codyeco also performed very well on serve, with 7 winners: 5 of them were scored by Danish setter Mikkel Hoff, who was named the match’s MVP. Four players finished the match in double figures in terms of points scored: Luigi Randazzo with 24 points (and a 66% offensive performance), Gabriele Nelli with 19, Felipe Benavidez with 12, and Victorio Ceban with 10.
With six points earned so far, Coach Petrella’s team is within the playoff zone: they are seventh, with a record of two wins (at home against Catania and Cantù) and two losses (at Pineto and Prata di Pordenone) in the first four matchdays.
