Awaited by three consecutive away matches between the SuperLega Credem Banca and the Challenge Cup, the Cucine Lube Civitanova is ready for the penultimate away match of the 2024/25 Regular Season. Giampaolo Medei’s men will be on stage at the Kioene Arena tomorrow, Thursday 20 February (8.30pm with live broadcast on Rai Sport, VBTV and Radio Arancia) against Sonepar Padova, a match valid as a recovery of the first round of the second leg. The Marche players want an away win and then go to Trento against Itas (on the pitch on Saturday at 8.30pm for the 10th second leg) with a lot of enthusiasm. The arithmetic third place is just one point away. Opposite player Adis Lagumdzija will also start with the group, having left the court in the first set against Taranto due to a minor ankle sprain. The other recovery is scheduled for today’s evening, the one between Trento and Cisterna.
The path of the two teams in the championship
Thanks to the home success against Taranto on the ninth matchday of the return leg, Lube reached 42 points, securing third place (one point in three games is enough for mathematical certainty). Padova is fresh from the tie break success against Modena, a result that brought the Paduans considerably closer to salvation.
