On Sunday in the TV postponement at 20.30 (live Raisport and Volleyballworld.tv) at the Pala Estra in Siena, the Gioiella Prisma Taranto will be engaged in what can be defined as an authentic direct clash for salvation against Emma Villas Aubay. Considering the situation in the current standings, in fact, the two formations are only 3 points apart, but there are various factors to be evaluated. Emma Villas has only one victory to its credit, obtained against Cisterna di Latina away in Cisterna, but has two games left (postponed due to covid).
The Gioiella Prisma Taranto obtained two victories against Monza and Verona and a point in the tie break with Padova, and is back from four consecutive defeats, three at home between friendly walls with Padova, Piacenza and Modena and one in Trento.
Siena comes from a week’s break, has played every other week in the last three days and is chasing points by searching for the match rhythm that was lacking in the last day.
The Sienese roster, set up after a hot summer later than other clubs having bought the title from Reggio Emilia, turned out to be very interesting, having inherited some players coming from Modena after an initial period in which players had been bought for a new season in A2 with directors Finoli, Pinelli and the Argentine opposite Pereyra. Then came the very expert bands such as the Serbian Petric and the Dutch Van Garderen, the central players Mazzone and Ricci ex nationals, the other two bands Raffaelli and Swan Ngapeth from Modena, the opposite world champion Pinali and the libero Bonami in a final market shot from Verona, helped by the former rossoblù Pochini.
