Kioene Padova coming from a tie break loss in Piacenza versus Lpr, will close the regular season in eleventh place, looking for a win in last game of regular season versus Biosì Indexa Sora, a team already defeated 10 times in 17 total games between these two teams. Sora lost by Ravenna of former Coach Soli in front of their fans in previous round of Unipolsai Superleague. Sora has 1 point of advantage on Padova in the standings, so if Sora will lose this last game, Padova will overtake Biosì Indexa in the final standings.

Marco Volpato (Kioene Padova): “On sunday we’ll play last game of regular season, in front of our fans, versus an opponent who will fight for the win. On the other side of the net there will be alot of former players of Padova, so we will need to keep the head up high and give a joy to our fans. Unfortunately this season has not been so good for us, we want to show our value, showing we fight until the end”.
Bruno Bagnoli (allenatore BioSì Indexa Sora): “Versus Ravenna we paid some condition troubles because of too many games in this part of the season, so after the good game in Vibo we were tired and out of power. Andrea Mattei out of an injury, was ready and made some good plays. It’s good to play at Kioene Arena, we’ll try to do our best on that turf, we’ll play like it was a final. Padova is a strong team, good down the net but sometimes they suffer in reception. Because of this, the setter sometimes struggles to set the right way. For sure Maar is the key player of the team, will be an intense game, we need to be calm and quiet, as we did versus Vibo”.
