Pala Santa Maria again, Serie A2 Credem Banca again. Tomorrow (Sunday), at 6.00 pm, ABBA Pineto will challenge Delta Group Porto Viro for the 17th day of the regular season. It’s not a truth-telling, but the points up for grabs count: the blue and whites come from a bittersweet defeat against Aversa, a 3-2 which brought a point and left Simone Di Tommaso’s team with more than positive feelings. The ranking is open and leaves room for countless evolutions, with ABBA at 23 – by the way: Porto Viro is just one point behind – and the play-offs are just two points away, with Siena stuck at 25 points. With 10 games left to play, anything can happen. The large public is expected at Palavolley after the ‘sold out’ of the last two home matches against Macerata and Aversa.
«We come from a very high level match against Aversa – says center back Matteo Zamagni, former player of the evening against Porto Viro – a great performance by both teams and from which we must take with us those sensations and the good things we put on the pitch. The public factor? When we play at home it’s a completely different thing, the atmosphere at Pala Santa Maria has no equal. Against Porto Viro there is certainly a great desire for revenge because against them we showed one of our worst performances of the season. We’ll play it at home, with the hope of finding a still packed stadium and aware of how important the match is also in terms of the standings to stay in the play-off zone.”
