Nine points available in the last three matches of the Blue Group regular season, five points to make up on Sabaudia fourth from last in the standings: it is a decisive challenge that awaits Bcc Tecbus Castellana Grotte next weekend. At the Pala Grotte in Castellana, for the 20th day of the A3 Credem Banca national championship, Avimecc Modica arrives, fifth in the standings with 27 points. First meeting at 4pm on Sunday 16 February 2025.
The Apulian team coached by Giuseppe Barbone has little margin for error, called upon to win to give substance to their hopes of direct salvation. The aim is to avoid the playouts, recovering the gap from Sabaudia (which has 21 points in the standings, but will be able to count on one less match to play, still having to observe its rest period on the last day of the regular season) and overtaking Napoli in this race (tied in the standings with the yellow-blues on 16 points). Opposite Modica, already certain of avoiding the salvation pool and already qualified for the playoffs. Bcc Tecbus will need a great approach and a lot of experience to overcome an opponent who has won 10 points in the last five days (beating Ortona, Sabaudia and Campobasso and losing in the tie break with Lecce), literally dragged by the Italian-Cuban opponent Padura Diaz.
