It’s time for the championship recoveries on the 1st return day of the SuperLega Credem Banca. The two matches postponed in December to coincide with the 2024 Club World Cup are scheduled for the next few days. Tomorrow, Wednesday 19 February, at 8.30pm, the calendar offers the exclusive VBTV at the ilT daily Arena between Itas Trentino, second strength of the tournament at -3 from the top, and Cisterna Volley, currently at 23 points in cohabitation with Valsa Group Modena, but seventh by virtue of two more victories than the Emilians. A three-point success would allow the hosts to catch up with leaders Sir Susa Vim Perugia, but not to jump into first place because, even with a 3-0 victory in the Dolomites, the Block Devils would maintain a better set ratio. A statement would count a lot for the Pontini team in terms of the Play Offs and seventh place with only two rounds left to play. The following day, Thursday 20 February, at 8.30 pm, the second recovery is scheduled, the one on the taraflex of the Kioene Arena. Sonepar Padova, which with the 2 points gained against Modena consolidated the tenth position by taking a decisive step towards salvation which is not yet mathematical but closer (3 points), competes with Cucine Lube Civitanova, a team determined to defend third place after a memorable second round and a six point advantage over their pursuers. The red and whites, who are monitoring Lagumdzija for a sprained ankle, only need one point to be certain of mathematically finishing on the podium, but Balaso and his teammates will look for the humpback shot to redeem the last away match in the city of the Saint.
