SERIE A2 TIM
ON COURT FOR THE 10TH ROUND OF THE 1ST LEG
First leg’s tenth round for the Serie A2 TIM that round after round gets more and more into it. Seven the matches scheduled for sunday, the round will be completed on tuesday by Catania-bassano due to the Sicilian venue being unavailable used for the Olympics pre-qualifying tournament.
All eyes on the match between Olio Pignatelli Isernia and Marmi Lanza Verona. The molisani, still without Kangasniemi away with his national team, went back to victory in Mantova last week after three consecutive defeats. The veneti, who will certainly have to do without Janic while Olieman’s availability is still uncertain, are after their fifth consecutive victory.
Leader Premier Hotels Crema is flying to Sardinia to challenge Tiscali Cagliari. It is the 11th challenge between the two teams, 6 won by Crema.
Esse-ti Carilo Loreto, second in the standings, is visiting Framasil Cucine Pineto, a completely different perspective. It is Antonio Babini’s debut on the bench, trying to bring the team back to victory after 6 cinsecutive defeats (including the one against Cagliari under disciplinary procedures).
Home match between Codyeco Santa Croce for coach Valdo, who is making his debut in front of his home supporters after the bitter one against Vibo.
Stilcasa Salento d’amare Taviano is the opponent, playing without Chocholak and maybe Paulo Pinto. Spiker Eerik Jago, after his engagements with the national team, should come back in time from Hungary.
Important match in terms of safety between Divani&Divani Avellino and Raccorderie Metalliche Mantova, two teams currently within the last 5 positions in the standings. Even in this match, important absences with diagonal player Hietanen for the virgiliani and Hungarian Nemeth for the home team, both away with their national teams.
Materdomini Volley.it Castellana Grotte – Monini Marconi Spoleto is closing the series of matches scheduled for 18.00.
At 20.30, the first deferement broadcasted on SNAI Sat. It will be played in Forli between Mare&Volley and Tonno Callipo Vibo Valentia. It is one of the most looked forward matches of the round with orecious points at stake for the top of the standings. Whoever wins will be able to stay close to the top four teams.
The round will be finally completed on tuesday the 4th of december at 20.30. SP TTTLines Catania is hosting Fiorese Spa Bassano that with Dalla Fina’s arrival on the bench has gained 9 points in the past 3 matches. Catania, on the other hand, will try and follow up on the excellent performance given last sunday in Forli, also thanks to Koch and Quiroga’s return from their national teams. It will be a special match for Daniele Desiderio and Stefano Moro other than the argentine, the three players were wearing Bassano’s shirt last year.
On saturday and sunday, Andrea Anastasi’s Italy will be the star in Catania for the final stages of the Olympics pre-qualifying tournament.
