Third match in a week for Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza which on Sunday 25 February (4.00pm live on Rai Sport, VBTV, Radio Sound and Sportpiacenza.it) will be involved in the Eurosuole Forum in Civitanova Marche with Cucine Lube Civitanova in the match valid for the tenth return day of the SuperLega Credem Banca championship.
There are two days left until the end of the Regular Season and the fight to gain the best position on the starting grid for the Scudetto Play Offs is more heated than ever. On Sunday in Civitanova Marche the two teams currently tied in third place in the standings with a four-point advantage over the fifth-placed teams will face each other.
Challenge number eleven is coming against the Marche team. There are ten previous matches between the two teams, nine in the Regular Season and one in the Semi-final of the Del Monte Supercup played at the end of last October.
The balance is nine successes for Civitanova, while on only one occasion it was the red and white sextet who rejoiced. The only success of Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza came in the 2021-2022 season: on the second day of the first leg in Civitanova the red and whites won the tie break in a comeback (25-23, 16-25, 25-23, 22-25, 12-15). This season the two teams have faced each other twice: in the Del Monte Supercoppa and the Marche team won 3-0 (25-22, 25-16, 25-18), in the first leg of the championship and won in the tie break (27-29, 20-25, 25-21, 25-22, 10-15) were the Marches.
The match with the highest score between the two teams dates back to the first leg: tenth day when Civitanova prevailed at PalabancaSport at the tie break and the match recorded 219 overall points.
As regards the “most contested” set, however, we are talking about the 2020-2021 season: fifth day of the first leg, at PalabancaSport the first partial went to the Marches 31-29 and at the end of the match it was Lube who celebrated, leaving the red and whites of Piacenza a set only.
The easiest partial dates back to the 2019-2020 season, the first day back: in Piacenza the team from the Marche won the third set 25-13.
