The team is going to Verona with great motivation. The opponent of the day had surprised everyone in the first round inflicting a sweep to Cuneo in its own house. Then, however, it lost twice in a row, against Modena and Loreto. In the meantime, Taranto grabbed two convincing wins at the expense of Latina away, and Forli at home.

“We are facing two consecutive trips (Verona and Pineto), even three given that after the weekend in which we will be rested, we will be heading to Trento – explained coach Montagnani – Verona has physically strong players, three of whom are easily 6.7ft. They are very dangerous on the serve, which I think is their main strength. They will be eager to bounce back after two losses but we are ready to face an intense and competitive game”.
