It’s one of the most in-form teams of the league that Perugia will face in its PalaEvangelisti on Sunday (6pm). Indeed, Trentino, the Italian champs, are currently second in the league with 10 points more than Perugia and the only two games lost ended on a tie-break.
Following its defeat against Cuneo, Perugia needs some point to qualify for the Italian Cup but it is aware it will need a real breakthrough to beat Trentino. “We lost against stronger teams than us – explained middleblocker Massimo Botti – but we are performing according to what was expecting of us. Regarding the Italian Cup, I am optimist even though I know we can do more”.
