The last act of the SuperLega Credem Banca is just around the corner. On Monday May 1 (at 6.15 pm with live coverage from Rai Sport, Volleyballworld.tv and Radio Arancia) the Cucine Lube Civitanova will be on stage against Itas Trentino at the BLM Group Arena, already sold out, for Game 1 of the Scudetto Final best of five matches .
The Italian champions, holders of the last three Scudetti and in the sixth final in a row, have already challenged the Trentino side in a showdown: in the single match of the Milanese V-Day 2011/12, with victory at the tie break, and in the Italian series best-of-five matches, won in three games in 2017/18. Furthermore, the red and white qualified against Itas in the 2018/19, 2020/21 and 2021/22 Semifinals, which they then led to the final victory, while in the 2009/10 Semifinal it was the yellow and blues who advanced.
Scheduled for Monday the overall direct clash n. 91, with Civitanova ahead 51 to 39 in the calculation of victories. Both teams are in their ninth showdown for the Scudetto, but Itas has collected four banners with a percentage of 50%, while the cooking partnership has been able to capitalize on the chances by raising the Scudetto cup 7 times out of 8 attempts , with regret for the only decisive series lost, in 2017/18 in Game 5 against Perugia away from the friendly walls.
On the eve of the Bulgarian face-to-face between Alex Nikolov and Matey Kaziyski, the young red and white talent recalled that his father Vladimir won the Italian flag in 2007/08 with the Trento shirt together with the yellow and blue veteran.
