This will be the last game before last in the A2 for Loreto, who will play away for the second consecutive time following their victory in Bassano last week. This time, it is Mantova that stands in the way of Luca Moretti’s team. Mantova is currently seventh in the league. In the return games, it managed to put together a run of 9 consecutive wins before losing three times in a row. Loreto is on a seven game winning streak.

“It will be another final for us like it’s been mostly the case recently – said Luca Moretti – In the first leg we managed to win 3-1 but it was a very hard-fouhgt game. Hopefully, we’ll make it again this time round. And I hope the boys will manage to play with the mentality they showed in the first set against Bassano, when everyone managed to stay composed despite the pressure of having to get a good result at all cost”.
