Emma Villas Siena had very little time to prepare for the home match against Pineto. It is the second day of the return round and the Tuscans coached by coach Gianluca Graziosi hope to continue the streak of victories that began at PalaEstra against Reggio Emilia and then continued on Boxing Day in Aversa, in Campania, against Evolution Green. Two matches, these, which the Sienese both won by three sets to one and which brought the Tuscans 6 points in the standings.
The match against Pineto will start tomorrow afternoon starting at 5.30 pm.
Emma Villas is currently still out of the playoff zone. In fact, the ranking places the white and blue in eighth place, and the top seven teams who finish after the twenty-six matches of the regular season will participate in the post season. There are twelve games left until the end of the first phase of the season, so the points up for grabs are increasingly weighty.
Siena faces Pineto tomorrow afternoon. And it’s a real direct clash, given that both teams currently have 22 points in the standings. However, the Abruzzese are ahead, and are in sixth position in the ranking, by virtue of a better set quotient than the Siena. The ranking in many positions is very short: in front there are three teams who have gained a margin, namely Brescia who have 33 points and then Ravenna and Prata di Pordenone who have 30. Cuneo is fourth with 24 points. At 22 points there are also five teams: Aversa, Pineto, Porto Viro, Siena and Catania. Fano is just below with 20 points. The fight to enter the playoffs has therefore already begun.
