Italy Serie A2 – Round 8
CANTU-GROTTAZOLINA 25/11/23 19:30 CET
Grottazzolina leads the championship with 7 wins in 7 matches and only 1 point dropped on the road. The Marchigiani have won 21 sets while losing only 7. Grotta is currently in a physical form a notch above the others, and the enthusiasm from the brilliant start is reflected in the volleyball played by Marchioni and his teammates. On paper, Grotta is expected to secure the victory.
PINETO-PORDENONE 26/11/23 15:00 CET
Pordenone is favored by bookmakers against the Abruzzese team Volley Pineto. Pineto, currently at 10 points in the standings, hosts Pordenone, currently in second place with 6 more points than the white and blue team. While the standings and roster indicate that Pordenone is the favorite for victory, Pineto has a strong opposite, includes them in the starting lineup, and secures two consecutive victories, earning the love of the fans. For us, it will be a more challenging match than expected, where Pineto can surely win at least one set.
CASTELLANA-SIENA 26/11/23 17:00 CET
Castellana-Siena is, for us, the match where Siena has the opportunity to catch up with promotion contenders. Siena had a bad day last time at home against Ravenna, playing poorly and losing 0-3. Trillini and his teammates know that if they want to stay in the race for the season's goal, they must win matches like the one against Castellana. On the other hand, after a challenging start, the Pugliesi have improved, playing better and achieving a 3-0 victory in the last match against Cuneo. Castellana returns in front of the home crowd with enthusiasm and the desire to surprise again. However, for us, it's not enough, and despite expecting a more complicated match than anticipated, we feel inclined to recommend Siena for the final victory.
BRESCIA-ORTONA 26/11/23 17:00 CET
Ortona enters the game with 0 wins in the 7 matches played and only 2 points in the standings, placing them in the last position. Brescia looks down from its 12 points and fourth place in the standings, making this a crucial match to win to remain in the top positions. For us, Brescia is the favorite of the day.
RAVENNA-AVERSA 26/11/23 17:00 CET
Ravenna and Aversa are two similar teams, just one point apart and with the characteristic of never giving up on a match. The data provide little help – the same matches won, the same matches lost. The feeling is that of a tense, balanced, long, and complicated match.
REGGIO-SANTA CROCE 26/11/23 17:00 CET
A complicated match where either team could win or lose, and the game, for us, will be decided by a few key moments.
PORTO VIRO-CUNEO 26/11/23 18:00 CET
Porto Viro-Cuneo is, in our opinion, the most exciting match of the day. Teams separated by just one point, with similar ambitions and levels of play, face each other in the eighth round of the championship. For us, every set of this match will be closely contested.
