Game 3 of the Play Off Semifinal is upon us. It will be played on Wednesday 19 April at the Eurosuole Forum and at the BLM Group Arena. Civitanova and Milan, after the very heated match at the Allianz Cloud, already know that the series will not end with the third act, but at least Game 4 will be necessary. On the contrary, Trento has the great chance of immediately eliminating an equipped team like Piacenza , however capable of great efforts when under pressure, as in the recent Quarter Finals against Modena.
At 20.30 on Wednesday the RAI Sport cameras will be at the Eurosuole Forum for Game 3 of the Semifinal Play Off Credem Banca between Cucine Lube Civitanova and Allianz Milano. The situation is 1-1: the Milanese responded to the clear victory of the Italian champions between the friendly walls at the debut with a performance of great intensity in a sold out Allianz Cloud with almost 5300 fans crowded in the stands of the arena Lombard. Chicco Blengini’s men want to make up for it immediately, taking advantage of the midweek shift in their court, but first they have to deal with Yuki Ishikawa, MVP of Race 2 who has returned to show all his class on serve and in the attack phases after an empty round in the previous match. After the first two sports battles of the series, what is happening on the pitch could cause déjà vu given that Allianz had lost their first match against Sir 3-0 in the quarter-finals and then re-emerged at the tie break.
Also at 20.30 on Wednesday, the third act of the Scudetto Semifinals takes place between the hosts of Itas Trentino and the guests of Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza. The hosts won the first two matches of the series, 3-0 in Trento and in four sets at the PalaBancaSport in Emilia. The objective of Angelo Lorenzetti’s men is to immediately close the account in front of their fans, trying to avoid further dangers posed by a possible away Game 4. Massimo Botti’s team, on the other hand, dreams of proposing a comeback in grand style from 0-2 to 3-2, like the one recorded in the quarter-finals series, when Gas Sales changed gear in Game 3 against Modena to then slip three row claims. On the other hand, an intense match took place in Piacenza on Sunday in which Itas was able to resist in a complicated phase of the second set before the decline in the third and the decisive sprint.

Play Off 5° Posto Credem Banca
The second day of the 5th Place Play Off calendar starts in search of a pass for the 2023/24 Challenge Cup. Teams on the pitch Wednesday 19th April. The classification sees Verona in the lead with 3 points, resting on Wednesday, followed by Monza with 2 and Modena with 1. Padua is dry, while Perugia is about to make its debut away from home.
The round opens at 19.30 with the match in the Arena between Vero Volley Monza and Sir Safety Susa Perugia. The team from Brianza made their debut in the race for fifth place with an away victory at the tie break in Modena, putting behind them the elimination from the Scudetto quarter-finals in the series against Trento. Instead, it is a debut for the Block Devils, who in a few days were eliminated by Zaksa in the Semifinal of the CEV Champions League and by Milan in the Quarterfinals of the SuperLega Credem Banca Play Offs. The Umbrian sextet, who won all their games in the regular season, want to find their rhythm, but have to deal with a team that in recent weeks has been able to count on a Fernando Kreling who is back at the top after his injury.
Back from a clear defeat in the Veneto derby at the Pala AGSM AIM, Volleyball Padova does not want to frustrate the efforts of the Preliminary Pool that brought it up to the 5th place in the Play Offs Group and, strong on the field factor, look for the first success. On the other front, in the match on Wednesday at 20.30, there is a Valsa Group Modena injured after the elimination from the Play Offs Scudetto in Game 5 of the Quarterfinals on their own pitch at the hands of Piacenza and after the false step at the PalaPanini in the 1st Group round for 5th place. The yellows want to immediately put the ups and downs of Sunday evening behind them and the best way is to show up at the Kioene Arena with an aggressive attitude, hunting for precious points before the rest of the Emilians next day. Andrea Giani will not be able to count on the German central Tobias Krick, who has returned to Germany, but he can return to field the Australian Lorenzo Pope after the long injury.
