The round of 16 of the Credem Banca Serie A3 Playoffs will be decided in two days. The six return matches are scheduled for Sunday, March 29, 2026: two matches at 5:00 PM and four matches at 6:00 PM. Six teams will qualify for the quarterfinals. The loser of the Promotion Playoff between the “two Reggios” will instead advance directly to the semifinals.
Sarlux Sarroch and Aurispa DFV Lecce will take to the court at 5:00 PM. The Sardinians won the first leg in a tie-break, while the visitors must win 3-0 or 3-1 to advance to the next round, or win the fifth set to play out the Golden Set. Avimecc Modica and Gabbiano FarmaMed Mantova will also face off at the same time. To stay in contention, the Sicilian team must win by three points and advance to the Golden Set, while the Lombardy team, strong from last week’s 3-1 home win, would qualify by winning two sets. The action will continue at 6:00 PM with four must-see matches. Coming off a marathon first leg with a photo-finish away win for the Apulians, JV Gioia del Colle and Negrini CTE Acqui Terme will face off again in another sporting battle. The final stretch is wide open, and both teams need a win. The hosts, regardless of the result, must win 3-0 or 3-1 to advance, while a tie-break victory would be decisive in the Golden Set to secure access to the quarterfinals. The situation is different between ErmGroup Altotevere San Giustino and Viridex Sabaudia. Thanks to their first-round win by a narrow margin, the Umbrian team can eliminate their opponents with two sets, while the Lazio team is forced to win by three points to extend the contest, playing the tiebreaker set to 15 points on the road. The situation in the remaining matches is more balanced. Thanks to the tiebreaker victory secured at the Molise team’s headquarters, Belluno Volley is chasing a second victory by any scoreline to advance to the semifinals, while in Veneto, EnergyTime Campobasso must win 3-0 or 3-1 to turn things around, and 3-2 to reopen the game and play the Golden Set. The same applies for BCC Tecbus Castellana Grotte and CUS Cagliari.
