The match between Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza and Vero Volley Monza scheduled for Saturday 21 January (6.00 pm) at the Monza Arena opens the sixteenth day, fifth of the second leg, of the SuperLega Credem Banca championship.
Challenge number nine the one coming up against the Brianza team. There are eight precedents between the two teams in Regular Season and Play Off 5th place.
The budget is four hits for each side. Last season the two teams met three times: twice in the Regular Season with one win on each side while in the Play Offs 5th place was won by Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza on the third day of the group. This season the championship match was won by the Brianza team at PalabancaSport 3-1
The match with the highest score between the two teams dates back to the sixth return day of the 2019-2020 season, Vero Volley Monza won at home 3-1 (25-23, 25-27, 31-29, 25-23 ) and the game recorded 208 points overall. Only once, in the previous seven meetings between the two teams, has the match ended at a tie break: the sixth first leg of the 2019-2020 season and Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza (17-25, 25-17, 15-25, 25-22, 15-12).
As for the “most fought” set, however, we are talking about the 2021-2022 season: the fifth day of the return leg, the third set went to the red and white 34-32 who won 3-0 at the end of the match. The easiest partial is dated the 2019-2020 season, sixth day of the first leg: Monza prevailed in the third set 25-15 but at the end of the game it was Piacenza who cheered and won in the tie break.
