Verona - Monza
Italy - Superlega, Placement Playoffs, Round 4
On Tuesday, April 25th, Verona will host Monza for the fifth place playoffs. Verona, after being eliminated from the championship playoffs, is doing its best to win the fifth place in this tournament, having defeated all teams except Perugia, losing 3-2.
Coach Stoytchev's objective is clear: win the matches! This is evident from the lineups he puts on the court, even though some players will not wear the Verona jersey next year, such as Sapozkov, who will be the next opposite of Modena.
Monza will have almost the entire team available except for opposite Grozer, who has been replaced by the excellent Maar Stephen in the last few matches.
Verona's physical abilities and playing at home will be crucial in this match, and that is why I see Coach Stoytchev's team as the favorite in this Game 4 of the fifth place playoff.
