On the eve of the 5th first leg of the Regular Season, with the calendar defined until the end of the first round, the SuperLega Credem Banca ranking has lengthened and the hierarchies have taken shape. At the top on 12 points, with an en-plein of victories, Trento and Piacenza are standing arm in arm, closely followed at 11 by Perugia. Verona leapt to fourth place with a treasure of 8 points after the home success in four sets against Civitanova, which remained at 6 points. Surprisingly, Cisterna is trailing at 1 point, a team that has always put in the lead in the first matches. the big ones have difficulty collecting less than they should.
The 5th round opens with the advance between rivals who compete for oxygen to continue to breathe deeply in the category also next year. At 6.00pm on Saturday 26 October, in fact, live on Rai Sport, Taranto, with 3 points in the standings, hosts Grottazzolina, penultimate with 2 and looking for their first success after losing the chance at home at the end of the longest match ever in SuperLega (178′), the advantages of the tie-break against Padova slipped away. The other matches are scheduled for Sunday 27 October. Kicking off the proceedings, at 4.00 pm, with live streaming on DAZN, is the match between Milan, always combative at home, and Verona, which has achieved three successes in a row. At 5.00 pm, with exclusive live streaming on VBTV, the first match is at the Kioene Arena, between the home team of Padua, with 6 points, and Piacenza, which does not want to lose its unbeaten record and much less give up its penthouse at the top of the table. classification. For the challenge of challenges you have to wait until 6pm, complete with live broadcast on Rai Sport. The leaders Trento and the chasing Perugia are fighting to close the fifth act of the tournament undefeated. At the ilT Quotidiano Arena (already sold out) the continental champions will meet against the world and Italian champions. Important for the economy of the ranking, again at 6.00 pm, with live streaming exclusively on VBTV, the face-to-face match between Civitanova, unbeaten at home and determined to get back on top, and Cisterna, who wants to break free in the hunt for the first victory. The curtain falls with the match at 7pm (live streaming on DAZN) between Modena and Monza, teams now at the back and intent on moving up the rankings. All races can be seen on the VBTV streaming platform.
Four victories each in the previous matches in Serie A, three points in the current standings for the hosts, two for the guests. The introductory data are enough to understand the importance of the match scheduled for Saturday at PalaMazzola between Gioiella Prisma Taranto and Yuasa Battery Grottazzolina. The Ionian team, who find Oleg Antonov as a rival, are coming off the away defeat in Piacenza. There is great regret because, after winning the first set with advantages, the second set, which would have guaranteed at least a point on one of the toughest courts of the tournament, slipped out of hand in the sprint. Yuasa, penalized by the absences of Dusan Petkovic and Michele Fedrizzi, although replaced admirably by the second rows, saw their first victory in the category fade at home to the advantages of the tie-break against Padova, at the culmination of the longest match ever in Super League.
The celebration of Milan players.
Great volleyball Sunday opens with challenge no. 28 between Allianz Milano and Rana Verona, with former players like Edoardo Caneschi and Matey Kaziyski (8 points to 4000 in Regular Season) on one side and Marco Vitelli on the other. The precedents see the Scaligeri in the lead with 16 successes to 11, who are currently fourth in the standings, thanks to the home success with overtaking on Civitanova, and are gradually recovering Rok Mozic (1 match out of 100 played in Italy), on the field for some time of match last Sunday in a festive Pala Agsm AIM. In the 5th round, however, it will be played at the Allianz Cloud, a pitch where the Milanese always know how to give their best. Roberto Piazza’s men are fresh from the privateer success in Monza in the derby, which earned them the jump to 6 points, with only two points less than the Venetian giants and clear ambitions of overtaking on the day of match no. 200 in career of the home libero Damiano Catania.
Padova awaits, at home undefeated Piacenza
Sonepar Padova reaches the fifth round after winning the longest marathon in SuperLega history in tie-break, which lasted 178′ last Sunday against the freshman Grottazzolina at the PalaSavelli in Porto San Giorgio, a field that is proving to be anything but easy for the visiting teams. The Paduans, fresh from two away exploits in as many vital clashes for the rankings, with Marko Sedlacek close to the goal of 500 points in the Regular Season (-7), are banking on the push of the Kioene Arena, but have to deal with Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza , a team at the top of the rankings, the only one with full points together with Trento and more concrete than in the past, thanks to the favorable tradition of 12 victories and 2 stops in the previous matches against Padova. The Emilians are coming off a hard-earned 3-1 victory within friendly walls against Taranto. Back to work with the Stephen Maar group (formerly of the game like Leonardo Scanferla).
Big match at the ilT Quotidiano Arena (already sold out, with 4 thousand spectators who will watch the match) between two undefeated teams separated by one point. On the pitch for the second day in a row at home, league leaders Itas Trentino, who tamed Modena 3-1 on Sunday, confirming their solidity in play and mental stability, boasts a historic plein of points in the first four matches. Sir Susa Vim Perugia meets the Dolomites for challenge no. 56 (Block Devils ahead with 31 wins to 24) with the possibility of overtaking. In the last match the Umbrians, without Simone Giannelli (formerly Trento), defeated Cisterna 3-1 in a comeback, overcoming a difficult phase. Numerous, but not all available, are the former players for the next match: six on the roster (Flavio, Rychlicki, Candellaro, Colaci Giannelli and Solé) and one on the bench, Angelo Lorenzetti, much loved in Trento. Various records in sight. On the one hand Gabi Garcia wants 500 winning attacks in the Regular Season, now at -2, and is in match no. 100 in Italy just like Flavio Resende Gualberto, while Daniele Lavia is 4 points away from 2500 in his career, on the other Roberto Russo is chasing ace no. 100 in the Regular Season, Oleh Plotnytskyi the 4 winning attacks that separate him from 1500.
Lucid and self-confident at home, at times phenetic away, Cucine Lube Civitanova is stuck on 6 points after the stop in Verona which only partially dampened the fans’ joy at the return to the red and white of Marko Podrascanin, starter in Veneto , but forced to surrender by the 27 points of the Malian Noumory Keita. The red and whites start once again from the Eurosuole Forum and from three successes in as many matches against Cisterna Volley, their next opponent. The Pontini team reaped significantly less than they sowed in the first days of the Regular Season. Last with just one point, taken in the second round in Verona, but capable of putting their opponents in difficulty, the players of the Lazio team, including the former chefs Michele Baranowicz and Enrico Diamantini, go to the Marche to unlock the ranking after the defeat in Perugia. Among the hosts Adis Lagumdzija is chasing point no. 1500 in Regular Season, while Petar Dirlic spent time in Cisterna but with Top Volley.
A great desire to get going in the postponement of the PalaPanini for two teams who have not left their mark in this very first phase of the Regular Season. Stopped at 3 points after the latest defeat in Trento, Valsa Group Modena still has a one-point advantage over their next opponents, the Italian vice-champions of Mint Vero Volley Monza, who are empty after the away success obtained at PalaSavelli in the 1st round and returning from the home setback in four sets in the Lombard derby against Milan. This is comparison no. 25 between the two teams, with Modena ahead 16 to 8 in terms of number of victories. The hosts are looking for an upgrade in front of their fans, but on the opposite front the Brianza team are recovering important players. In the last match Tsar Ivan Zaytsev has already made his official debut with the Monza shirt while Osmany Juantorena could increase his playing time. Three exes on each side in a very heartfelt match.
