The playoff climb of OmiFer Palmi starts today and at 7 pm, in Casarano, they will play the first leg of the round of 16. The Palmesi, third at the end of the regular season, will face the team that finished in sixth place. For the Calabrians the advantage of playing match 2 at home but Casarano is a very tough nut to crack, just think that in the championship that has just ended he won both matches with the blue jerseys, again 3-0. Gitto and his teammates finished in third place thanks to a very high-level second round, in which they made up for all the delay accumulated in the first part of the season. Being able to play home games at the “Mimmo Surace” building gave us an extra boost.
“At this point – comments Carmelo Gitto – we know we have to reset everything. We trained for an entire season between good moments and others a little less so but now we arrive in Casarano knowing we can do well. We arrive at this appointment calm and serene – remarked the OmiFer captain – with the intention of expressing the game of the last period which has seen us very concentrated even in the most delicate phases of the matches”.
Palmi reaches the playoffs with 49 points from the regular season, the result of 17 wins and 9 defeats. Casarano scored 44 points, with 14 wins and 12 defeats. But those of the playoffs are separate challenges that have nothing to do with the regular season. It’s like starting from scratch. And making a mistake in a race could cost a lot.
