SERIE A2 TIM
GREAT MATCHES OPEN THE SECOND LEG TO BE FOLLOWED ON THE VOLLEYBALL LEAGUE’S WEB RADIO
SPOLETO-VIBO VALENTIA LIVE ON SNAI Sat
The Serie A2 TIM Second leg’s first round is likely to be sparkling to say the least.
The Big Match is certainly the one in Isernia where Olio Pignatelli will host Premier Hotels Crema. It is the challenge between two teams who, after the initial surprise, have convinced everyone thanks to the quality of their game and they are now third and fourth in the standings. One of the guests’ aims is the one to make up for the defeat in the first leg.
Balanced challange between Materdomini Volley.it Castellana Grotte and Mare&Volley Forlì. The teams are both on 23 points. For Molducci’s team the difficulties will be more than one: facing Castellana Grotte, a team that is now galvanised more than ever by the TIM Cup A2 qualifying result and doubts about setter Bellini’s presence on court.
Certainly full of interest the match between Stilcasa Salento d’amare Taviano and Esse-ti Carilo Loreto, another two teams who arrived at the end of the second leg with some regrets for having lost some points along the way, but also with the satisfaction of having qualified for the Italian Cup’s Final Eight.
Heavy points at stake in Cagliari, where Tiscali will try and stop a reassured Codyeco Santa Croce. Cagliari needs a success straight away to get away from the red zone but they are facing a teams that was able to achieve good results in the last few rounds and they are not willing to give anything away.
Divani&Divani Avellino and Raccorderie Metalliche Mantova’s run for safety goes through difficult engagements.
Avellino, back in teh hands of coach Stefano Narducci, will host Hugo Conte’s SP TTTLines Catania without Quiroga away with the Argentine national team.
Harder task for Mantova, playing in Verona against the leader. Verona can count on Dutch man Olieman who already played in the friendly match against Montichiari, but will have to play without spiker Janic, with his national team in Smirne (TUR) where Italy will be playing in the Olympics qualifying tournaments too. Finnish Hietanen will not be playing for Mantova for the same reason.
Framasil Cucine Pineto, grown since Babini’s arrival but still last in the standings, to be able to get away from the bottom will have to find some points from this first match against Fiorese Spa Bassano of the ex’s Ronaldo and Shittu.
The TV deferement live on Snai Sat (ch 220 SKY) closes the programme with Monini Marconi Spoleto – Tonno Callipo Vibo Valentia. Spoleto, after having given Verona a hard time, will try and reconfirm their success in the first leg against the second in the standings, hoping to double up teh 3-0. Sequiera’s come back is possible.
All the matches will be live on “Volley Time Web” on www.legavolley.it
