Trento - Piacenza

Italy - Superlega, Playoffs, Semifinal

On April 25th, we will witness a very important match for the access to the first or second place in the Scudetto final, Trento against Piacenza. The previous matches have seen a 2-0 advantage for Trento, but the last two matches were won by Piacenza under the guidance of coach Botti, who triumphed 3-0 in Trento and 3-0 at home.

As Piacenza showed in the quarterfinals against Modena, they have an excellent ability to recover and win important matches, and the growing performances of their players, especially Romanò who was mostly absent in the first two matches, is a good sign of recovery and determination to advance and win the upcoming matches. Moreover, confirmed reports suggest that Piacenza's president Curti has promised excellent cash prizes that, even minimally, may have incentivized Piacenza to do better, and in fact, she has succeeded in her intent.

Statistically, Piacenza is superior both in attack and blocking, and the high morale they have demonstrated in the last matches could be enough to beat a strong Trento team that, despite playing at home, could still be defeated.
