Italy - Serie A2, Round 6
GROTTAZOLINA-PORDENONE:
First against second, the two teams in the best form of the championship and a practically identical path with only one set difference that is worth the minus one of Pordenone, currently in second place. Real match, for us slightly favored Grotta, which games like these, in their stadium that we now know is an extra weapon, is slightly favored.
SANTA CROCE-CUNEO:
Cuneo is in fifth place and faces the trip to Tuscany against the third-to-last team in the championship. However, we know that Santa Croce is a team that can perform much better than their current position.
After a terrible start, Santa Croce has grown in recent matches, recovered some key players, and inserted a new foreign player in the fourth position.
This led Santa Croce to victory in the last fundamental challenge against Ortona, and they arrive at the match with a renewed serenity. For this reason, we do not feel comfortable favoring Cuneo, which in our opinion could lose a set to Santa Croce, but still remains the favorite for the final victory.
AVERSA-PINETO:
Pineto is not in a good moment, with two initial victories and then three consecutive defeats for the Abruzzo team. The Neapolitans, on the other hand, have won three of their five matches and are breathing a climate of serenity and confidence in full play-off zone.
The Campanians play well and make their own stadium a strength.
For us, they are the favorites of this match, against a Pineto that is still "adapted" and in crisis.
BRESCIA-SIENA:
Brescia-Siena is another key match. One point separates the two teams in third and fourth place.
Beyond the over, we do not feel comfortable suggesting anything else.
ORTONA-RAVENNA:
Ortona is last in the standings, with zero points and only six sets won. We want to take a risk on Ortona-Ravenna.
The Abruzzo team is back home, and after losing to Santa Croce, their direct opponent, they are at a crossroads. They must win or they will be in serious trouble.
We want to give confidence to the home team, who have their last chance to get back on track. If they do not win at home, against a team that is not one of the favorites, it will be a big blow for Ortona.
