Yuasa Battery Grottazzolina and Emma Villas Siena are competing for access to the next SuperLega Credem Banca, with the Marche team able to count on the field factor in Game 1, scheduled for Sunday at 6.00 pm, and in the eventual match. In the first match, the dominant team of the Regular Season took to the pitch within friendly walls after having entered the Promotion Play Offs in the Semi-final and then sweated it out to get the better of Ravenna in Game 3 in the tie-break. The Tuscan giants also had a good time against Porto Viro, but after a rough approach they managed to prevail, earning themselves the chance to fight for a return to the top flight, a category they had already faced in 2018/19, thanks to their previous victory in the Play Offs against Spoleto. Yuasa Battery, defeated in the Promotion Final by Falconara in 1997/98 and in the A1/A2 Play Off Final by Forlì in 1999/00, has never made a great leap and wants a turning point. The precedents between the teams are tied thanks to two successes each. In the current season the field factor was missing in both matches, with Grottazzolina dominating in Tuscany 3-1 and Siena victorious in the tie-break in the Marche. On Sunday, among the hosts’ ranks, there will be three former Emma Villas players: Michele Fedrizzi, Andrea Marchisio and Andrea Mattei. On the scent of a record between the hosts Aleksandar Mitkov (a match at 100m played in Italy and 20 points at 1000m) and Andrea Mattei (7 winning attacks at 1000m in his career), among the guests Riccardo Copelli (5 winning attacks at 1000m in career).
