The wait is over! Tomorrow evening at 8:30 PM, the spotlight will be on the Scudetto Final of this Superleague Championship!
Perugia hosts the first act of the best-of-five series that will decide the Italian title, with two of this season’s key players battling it out for the title: Sir Susa Scai Perugia and Cucine Lube Civitanova. They’ll be back on the court, facing each other, to thrill the crowd and put on a great volleyball show!
For the Bianconeri, the pre-match work began with a prevention session in the gym and continued in the afternoon with technical and tactical training on the Taraflex. Tomorrow, match day, there will be a video session and on-court work in the morning.
It’s a high-stakes clash between two teams that are meeting for the 76th time in competitive matches in the Italian league, including regular season, playoffs, and matches in the Super Cup and Coppa Italia. They also met in Europe, where the two clubs met in the unforgettable Champions League semifinal at the Palalottomatica in Rome, exactly nine years to the day, on April 29, 2017, and subsequently in the group stages of the 2017-2018 and 2020-2021 seasons.
Tomorrow’s matchup will be the fourth time this season between the Umbrian and Marche sides, following two regular-season matches and a one-off Coppa Italia quarterfinal, played on December 30 at the PalaBarton.
