For the last time in the Regular Season of the 2025/2025 Serie A2 Credem Banca season, Campi Reali Cantù will take to the field early on Saturday evening. The kick-off is scheduled for 8 February 2025 at 8.30 pm at the PalaVolley S. Maria in Pineto (TE). The hosts of Abba are coming off a 3-0 defeat away against Tinet Prata of Pordenone, but at home they are a formidable team: within friendly walls the Abruzzo have lost only three times, two of which were in tie-breaks.
Coach Alessandro Mattiroli presents the challenge like this: “Pineto is an excellent team. At home, then, they are even more dangerous given that they have better percentages in many fundamentals compared to away games. They have proven that they are worth the Play Offs, and are fighting to reach them. In short, they are a very dangerous formation. We will try not to suffer too much from their serve in order to be able to best express our game and play the match until the end. We will do our best in this regard.”
THE OPPONENTS
Coach Simone Di Tommaso is indeed having his first experience as head coach in Serie A, but he has been Federal Beach Volleyball Coach for years, and in this role he participated in the last Olympics (Paris 2024). Mattia Catone is in the control room, a product of the Pineta nursery who “returned to base” after the championships played in Bergamo and Motta di Livenza. Opposite is the Finnish Samuli Kaislasalo, in his first year in Italy after playing in Belgium, Germany, Greece and Holland.
