Serie A1 playoffs

Change of schedule

 

If the final needed a Game 5, the latter would take place on Sunday May 12 instead of Wednesday 8 as initially scheduled. Consequently, the A2 final will take place a day earlier on Saturday 11 at 8pm (live on Rai Sport 1).

 

Serie A1

8th of finals

 

15 years on, the playoffs will begin again at the 8th of final stage. The teams that qualified are the ones finishing between 7^th and 10^th in the regular season. Having played a brilliant second half of season, Castellana Grotte will take on Vibo Valentia, which on the contrary did not gather much in the return games. The other series puts face to face Latina and San Giustino. Prandi’s boys clinched seventh place thanks to a 3-0 win over Modena, which means they will host game 1 and the deciding game 3 if needed. They focus their attention on the playoffs following a brilliant run in the Cev Cup that was only stopped in the final.
