Thursday 8 December there is room for the Credem Banca SuperLega thanks to the recovery of the 6th round of the first leg between Pallavolo Padova and Emma Villas Aubay Siena, formations that meet for the third time. The only two precedents were won by the Padova in the 2018/19 Regular Season thanks to a 3-1 home win in the first round and a feat at the photo finish in the return away match. The hosts, fresh from four defeats, are penultimate in the standings with 6 points after 9 games played, +3 behind bottom side Siena, fresh from the KO suffered in Verona in four sets and at the bottom of the standings with 3 points after 8 matches played. Both teams missed the train for the quarter-finals of the del Monte® Coppa Italia, and badly need points to improve their respective positions. The only ex of the match will not be on the pitch but on the bench: it is coach Paolo Montagnani, at the helm of Padua between 2009/10 and 2011/12. The players of the Tuscan sextet are setting career records: for Nemanja Petric 1 ace from 200, Fabio Ricci 4 aces from 1000, while Marteen Van Garderen is 1 point from 1700 and 2 aces from 100.
