In round 19, Castellana Grotte will play its second consecutive home game against another team from the Lazio region. Indeed, Fanizza’s men defeated Tuscania last week and will take on Sora on Sunday. Not an easy task as Sora hasn’t lost on the road since November 16 and is chasing the top spot, standing in second place just two points behind Ortona. But the hosts won’t be lacking motivation either as they are 9th and in the hunt for a playoff spot, which means catching up Reggio Emilia who’s two points ahead.
“We lost the first match 3-0 so among the many reasons to be motivated there is also the revenge – said setter Matteo Pedron – Hopefully we’ll find that little bit of luck which we have never found this season. I have also been suspended in my opinion unfairly for three rounds. But now everything is back into place and we’ll give everything to try the upset”.
