Final begins: super derby tomorrow

The big day has finally come: the playoff final against Castellana Grotte begins tomorrow Sunday in Molfetta. Thanks to their better regular season position, the guests will start off with a 1-0 advantage, which Molfetta will try to immediately cancel in its home gym. Molfetta in a playoff final could only be a dream at the start of the season, but as things wore on, the staff and players turned this dream of the fans into reality. But now the last barrier is incredibly tough to overcome: Castellana Grotte is simply the most feared opponent of this league. Something went wrong in the regular season for them and Perugia nicked the direct promotion in the A1, but Castellana is eager to make it in the playoffs. Playoffs that have been tough so far for them, with two never-ending tie-breaks against Loreto in the quarters, and more tie-break suffering in the semi-final against Segrate, eventually won precisely at the tie-break of the deciding fifth encounter. In the regular season, both Castellana and Molfetta won on their home court.
