SERIE A2 TIM
LORETO AND CATANIA RUNAFTER CREMA
Serie A2 TIM is back for its 9th round, 1st leg. It will be a very pecualiar day for the championship enjoyng an exceptional media coverage. A long series od live broadcasting on SNAI is starting. For the first one of the season, the appointment is in Loreto at 20.30 where Esse-ti Carilo is meeting Divani&Divani Avellino, without Nemeth this time, away with his National team.
All the other matches will be played at 18.00. The Lega Volley’s Web Radio is making its debut with “Volley Time Web”, the new programme live on streaming on legavolley.it: live updates and matches commentaries.
All eyes will be on the Premier Hotels Crema and Materdomini Volley.it Castellana Grotte’s match. Crema, after gaining the leadership last sunday, will try and continue its run;during the week, the training with Serie A1 Bre Banca Lannutti Cuneo, has shown Fant’s boys good shape once again.
Castellana, on the other hand, will have to deal with middle blocker Sabo’s absence after his elbow’s surgery thgis week. Rafael Pascual will be missing too, in Japan with his National team; space for Cuda and Muccio then who demonstrated to be able to contribute well last week against Verona.
High level challenge at Forli PalaFiera too between Mare&Volley and SP TTTLines Catania. Piero Molducci’s men will be after their 4th consecutive victory. The sicilians will be on court against Koch and Quiroga, away with their National teams. Important absences, as coach Hugo Conte declared, but motivating for their replacements.
All to be seen the match between Tonno Callipo vibo Valentia and Codyeco Santa Croce. Codyeco will be welcoming coach Enzo Valdo on the bench, who almost got them promoted last year.
Home challenge between Raccorderie Metalliche Mantova hosting Olio Pignatelli Isernia. The home team, after the unexpected victory in Catania, will be back at PalaBam after 2 consecutive rounds played in Curtatoni (MN). Different states of mind for the two teams with the Virgiliani coming from two consecutive victories and the Molisani from three defeats.
Fiorese Spa will try and continue its run, just like Mantova. The new coach has brought the results they had wished for but their task will not be easy against Stilcasa Salento d’amare Taviano. The Salentini though, will have to play without Gabriel Chocholak, out in the match against Spoleto last sunday because of an injury.
Marmi Lanza Verona will host Framasil Cucine Pineto without Emanuele Fracascia on the bench, exonerated last tuesday, Andrea D’Andrea will take his place.
Finally, important points at stake at the bottom of the standings in the Monini Marconi Spoleto-Tiscali Cagliari match.
