Gioiella Prisma Taranto is preparing to take the field for the third day of the Super League, in a match that promises to be exciting against Pallavolo Padova. The match is set for Sunday 13 October at PalaMazzola, where the rossoblù will try to exploit the warmth of the home crowd to win precious points.
Despite the two defeats in the first few days, Padova proved to be a solid and dangerous team, holding their own against two giants of the Super League such as Cucine Lube Civitanova and Sir Safety Susa Perugia. Precisely against the Umbrian champions, coach Jacopo Cuttini’s team scored an important point, highlighting a great ability to fight until the last ball.
For Gioiella Prisma, led by coach Dante Boninfante, it will be a challenge to be faced with maximum concentration, especially considering the quality of the battery of spikers Padova has at its disposal (the Olympic Italian Porro, the other promising Italian Orioli, the Croatian Sedlacek , the Serbian Masulovic who scored 22 points against Perugia, the Israeli Mayo Liberman) in addition to the almost complete recovery of the opposite Tommaso Stefani, already close to full fitness, and the confirmed central defenders Plak and Crosato, with the addition of Truocchio. Eyes also focused on the comparison with the former players: Marco Falaschi and Tommaso Stefani, who in past seasons were part of the starting line-up in Taranto, and who will now return as opponents at PalaMazzola, and on the Ionian field, Zimmermann finds Padova Volleyball again after an intense season spent with the Paduans in 2021-22.
It will therefore be a clash of exes especially in the control room.
