Aimone Alletti (LPR Piacenza): “We were in trouble in Ravenna on sunday, never been in the game with the mind. On sunday at PalaBanca we’ll play an important game versus Padova. At the moment we have a 5 points advantage on Monza, we have to keep this advantage. Padova started very well the season, then they had a slump, and now they are back on track after the game versus Milano. We have to win, we have to defend the sixth place in the standings”.
Valerio Baldovin (Kioene Padova): “Will be a difficoult game on sunday. We are coming off a bad loss in a bad game. Will be a tough match, where we will have the chance to rehab ourselves. Piacenza is a good team, with good players, we have to be careful to Fernando Hernandez, he can make the difference”.
