Italy – Serie A2, Round 9
AVERSA-PORTO VIRO 01/12/23
This is a challenging match where two teams in a transitional phase clash. Both teams haven't found their rhythm yet, and Sunday's match could be a key game in defining their season objectives. Honestly, we don't feel comfortable picking a favorite for the final victory, but we certainly expect an intense and eventful match. For us, it's OVER POINTS.
PORDENONE-BRESCIA 02/12/23
Pordenone-Brescia is the big match of the day, where the two teams, with only 4 points of difference, will engage in a high-level volleyball match. Pordenone is second in the standings, just 3 points behind the league leader, with only one loss in the last five matches.
Brescia also enters the match after putting aside two consecutive defeats, earning a perfect 6 points in the last two matches. It will be a long and often balanced match. However, for the final victory, we see Pordenone slightly favored.
SIENA-CUNEO 03/12/23
Siena vs. Cuneo is a genuine encounter. Two teams with high ambitions, experienced rosters in good form, and thriving in crucial matches like this one. We expect a long and tight game, but if we have to take a risk, we would recommend Siena, currently in better form. For the first time this season, they will play at home in their historic arena in front of their fans.
GROTTA-RAVENNA 03/12/23
Grotta continues to win and seems unstoppable in the early stages of the championship. Therefore, they are our favorite for this match, where we see Ravenna not ready to counter the current form of the Marchigiani, especially on their home turf.
SANTA CROCE-CASTELLANA 03/12/23
Santa Croce suffers another defeat, 3-1 away to Reggio, and finds itself in the darker zones of the standings. In the midst of relegation territory and only 5 points away, the Tuscans know that this match is crucial if they want to climb out of the abyss. Castellana, also with 5 points, is undoubtedly a direct competitor for this season's salvation. Despite being inconsistent, both in lows and highs (such as the 3-1 victory away at Cuneo), the Pugliesi have proven to be a tough opponent. It will be a tough, complicated, tense, and crucial match where, for us, Santa Croce is the favorite, with the opportunity to earn crucial points at home against a direct and relatively "reachable" opponent.
REGGIO EMILIA-PINETO 03/12/23
Reggio Emilia-Pineto is the most complicated match of the day from an analysis standpoint. Two fairly similar teams in terms of roster, seasonal objectives, and performance. Both have been inconsistent so far, alternating great matches with a few slip-ups. For us, the only analysis that makes sense is for a closely contested first set. OVER POINTS 44.5 SET.
