After a round robin not at all short of surprises and two quality semi-finals, the Credem Banca 5th Place Play Offs reach their epilogue. Tomorrow, Saturday 27 April, at 6.00 pm, the challenge to access the Challenge Cup 2025 is scheduled. On the pitch of the Pala Agsm AIM, the hosts Rana Verona, winners of the Group and promoted to the last act with 3-1 home against Modena, they host Cucine Lube Civitanova, third seeded in the Semi-final, but capable of eliminating Piacenza in the tie-break away. Scaligeri and Cucineri have already met in the third round of the one-way round and the result was a round 3-0 of Radostin Stoytchev’s Venetian team over a collective from the Marche still recovering after the resignation of Gianlorenzo Blengini. From the following match, Romano Giannini managed to encourage the team by achieving three fundamental successes, despite the comings and goings in the infirmary, with Jacopo Larizza returning from the stop due to the ankle problem and his teammates Enrico Diamantini and Alex Nikolov remaining at the base in the last match . In the Semifinal both Verona and Civitanova played an excellent performance from nine meters and from the block. The two MVPs stand out, Noumory Keita (20 points) and Mattia Bottolo (25), in their respective matches. For Ivan Zaytsev it will be race no. 500 in Volleyball League competitions.
