Trentino vs Belluno Thursday
Thirty fourth encounter between Trentino and Belluno on Thursday night in a postponed game of round 24 as Trento was involved last weekend in the Champions League, in which it did not end up winning the trophy for the first time in four years. The hosts, who have already secured the top spot of the regular season, will face an in-form Belluno team which gathered nine wins in its last ten encounters.

PAST ENCOUNTERS: 33 (21-12 Belluno)
Massimo Colaci (Itas Diatec Trentino): “The game against Belluno remains an important test, despite the fact we cannot be overcome in the table anymore. We want to keep winning and hopefully the fans will come in numbers like for any other big game, because this is really a top quality encounter, especially when you look at how well Belluno is playing right now. Hopefully there will be a great and intense game”.
Roberto Piazza (coach Sisley Belluno): “First of all I’d like to thank all the fans that will fill the three buses and follow us in Trento. I think this is a proof that the Belluno supporters are getting more and more into volleyball. And this is one more motivation to win for us. It’s obvious we’ll need our best volleyball against a team like Trento. They are not unbeatable but they are extremely strong. They play extremely good volleyball but every now and then, they are not perfect. We know that even the strongest can get it wrong, but this remains a great team, if they played the Champions League semi-final another 100 times, they’d probably win 95 of them. They showed their strength immediately after the defeat, by winning the game for third place. They have improved a lot since we first met but so did we. A couple of players have minor physical problem but we’ll have everybody available. We’re in good shape. We’ll have to be ready to face any line up they might send on court”.
