First home match of 2024 and fourth day of the return round for Negrini CTE who will receive Moyashi Garlasco on Sunday 21 January. The match is scheduled to start at 6pm at the Palazzetto di Valenza.
The thermal team, after starting the second part of the regular season and closing 2023 with a home success against Motta, is back from a bad defeat in Cagliari, preceded by the rest period observed on the second day.
Fourth place in the standings and 26 points, against 11 for their opponents from Pavia who, currently second to last, are coming off five consecutive defeats and will have a strong desire for revenge.
In the first leg at the Pala Ravizza in Pavia the Acqui team won 0-3.
Coach Negro, in addition to the already injured Matteo Martino, will also have to do without the starting libero Luca Martina who, despite not having suffered anything serious, will still be rested following the bad blow to the head suffered during the Sardinian away match.
It is the coach from Acqui who takes stock of the situation: “We want to start again from Garlasco. We want to demonstrate that we are not those from Cagliari. We knew it would be a difficult away match and unfortunately, in addition to the defeat, Martina was also injured. In this regard, I reassure everyone that Luca is well and will be back available as soon as possible.”
