Intense week, taking on Verona Thursday

Padova will start to prepare the last regular season game in which, just as expected, direct promotion in the A1 will be at stake. Monza took advantage of Padova being rested to get closer and send the final verdict back to the very last day: a clash between second and first, between Monza and Padova. The league leaders did not play in the league this weekend but played a friendly on Friday. They won 3-1 in Verona with Rosso scoring 23 and Giannotti adding 17. On Thursday, Giani’s men will take on Verona again but in their PalaFabris arena.
