On Sunday at 7pm, at the Pala Savelli in Porto San Giorgio, a match will be staged that could greatly influence the fate of the fight for survival in the Super League. Gioiella Prisma Taranto faces the team of Yuasa Battery Grottazzolina in a direct clash of vital importance: two teams fighting tooth and nail to keep alive the hope of remaining in the top flight.
Taranto comes to this challenge at an extremely delicate moment: six consecutive defeats have led the Apulian team to lose ground in the standings and slip to penultimate place, with the pressure of having to find a positive result so as not to risk definitively compromising their progress. In the first leg the pitch smiled at the rossoblù with the result 3-1, but the moment has completely changed compared to the first leg.
In fact, Grottazzolina has just returned from a series of convincing performances that have allowed it to overtake the rossoblù. The team led by coach Ortenzi put together a 3-point victory against Padova, a precious point in the tie-break lost against Verona and a prestigious triumph against Modena and Monza. Now, with a two-point advantage over Taranto, Grottazzolina’s men present themselves with high morale and the awareness of being able to take a further step towards salvation.
