Serie A2, Round 26

AVERSA-GROTTAZZOLINA For us, Aversa-Grottazzolina is definitely a match to avoid. Aversa already celebrated staying up last Sunday, while Grottazzolina was celebrating securing the first place mathematically. It's a game where there's really nothing at stake for either team, so this could be the right opportunity to

Serie A1, Playoffs, Quarterfinal

MONZA - LUBE Lube dramatically won game 3, always chasing Monza, and delayed the semifinal discussion to game 4. Monza certainly regrets wasting a huge opportunity to knock out the team from Marche in just three games. A consolation prize is the chance to play a very important game 4

Trento vs. Modena Trento leads the first playoff series with two wins, easily claiming the first match 3-0 and securing a hard-fought 3-2 victory in Modena. Additionally, Trento secured a spot in the Champions League final by defeating Civitanova 3-1. With Acquarone effectively filling in for the absent Sbertoli, closing

10/03/24 MODENA-TRENTO We present the same match analysis as game 1, which ended last Wednesday with a 3-0 victory for Modena. In the first set, the yellow-blues showed that they could hold their own against Trento, despite missing their first setter, who was excellently replaced by newcomer Acquarone,

PORTO VIRO-CANTU (09-03-24 CET 19:30) Porto Viro-Cantu is the match that has given us the least trouble in terms of analysis. We believe that Porto Viro is overwhelmingly favored to win. With only three days left in the regular season, Cantu sails in calm waters, mathematically safe, and out

The knockout phase will be contested by the top eight teams in the men's Superlega championship. The 4 matchups, starting Wednesday at CET 19:30, will be played in a best-of-five format (meaning that to advance to the semifinals, a team must win 3 matches). LUBE-MONZA Lube-Monza opens

02/03 March 2024 PORDENONE-RAVENNA The Pordenone-Ravenna match holds significant importance in the playoff race. The two teams currently sit fourth and fifth, with Pordenone trailing Ravenna by just two points. We anticipate a genuine and lengthy match where both teams could win at least one set. However, we slightly

03 March 2024 MONZA-CISTERNA We have now reached the final day of the Superlega, and the outcomes are almost decided for most teams. After analyzing 21 matches together, we don't want to waste any more words. Monza is our favorite for victory, and we predict a 3-0/3-1

25/02/2024 CUNEO-SIENA The first big match of the day on a Sunday filled with key clashes for promotion. Cuneo and Siena currently stand at second and third place respectively in the standings, with Cuneo chasing the mere two points that separate them from Siena. It's an

24-25 FEBRUARY 2024 ADOVA-MONZA We see Monza as the favorite against Padova, who are mathematically doomed to relegation. Monza, on the other hand, has the opportunity to continue their positive streak from the last 3 victories and distance themselves from the trio at 33 points. For us, Monza will win.

PORDENONE-PINETO - 17/02/24 CET 19:30 Pordenone-Pineto is a match about which we've had few doubts. Although the current form of the two teams suggests otherwise, we believe Pordenone can easily clinch the match. Pineto is on the upswing, having found a good chemistry with the

MONZA-SATURNIA - 17/02/24 CET 16:30 The match is too predictable, with Monza heavily favored. PIACENZA-TARANTO - 17/02/24 CET 17:00 The match is too predictable, with Piacenza highly favored. PADOVA-PERUGIA - 18/02/24 CET 15:00 The match is too predictable, with Perugia strongly

14/02/2024 MILANO-MONZA Milano-Monza will definitely be an engaging match. Our analysis initially focused on Milan, believing they had a slight edge to win the Lombardy derby. Currently, Monza and Milan are only three points apart, and the two teams have similar technical abilities. We would have relied on

ORDENONE-GROTTAZOLINA 03/02/24, CET 19:30 Pordenone-Grottazolina is perhaps the most exciting match of the day. Two of the absolute protagonists of Serie A2 clash in this encounter. At this stage of the season, having played 18 matches, almost all teams are experiencing inevitable physical and mental fatigue, and

MILANO-SATURNIA 02/02/24, CET 17:00 Milano-Saturnia is one of those matches where we won't dwell too much. There are too many reasons that make Milano the favorite, with the primary one being the technical and tactical superiority of the home team. Milano is currently in the

AVERSA-PORDENONE, 27/01/24 CET 19:30 According to our analysis, Aversa vs. Pordenone might be less predictable than it seems. Pordenone, a team clearly superior to the Campana, is considered the favorite by us. However, watch out for Aversa, which hasn't won in a month and is

PINETO-SIENA, 13/01/24 Pineto is facing its eighth consecutive defeat, and despite replacing the opposite player, adapting a wing spiker to position 2, and attempting to acquire a new foreign attacker, they dismissed the coach last Sunday in the hope of changing their fortunes.

SATURNIA-PIACENZA – 14/01/24, CET 15:00 Saturnia-Piacenza is the epitome of a top-versus-bottom clash.

UBE-PADOVA, 06/01/24 CET 18:00 The first match of the day is between Lube and Padova, competing for three points in Civitanova Marche in the second game of the year. Lube is undoubtedly the favorite, with Zaytsev and his teammates needing three points to stay glued to the

PORDENONE-SIENA, 06/01/24 CET 20:30 Pordenone-Siena is another crucial match for the development of the standings. The three points are essential for Pordenone, both to stay ahead of Cuneo, just one point behind and in excellent form, and to confirm the strength of the team, which currently seems

AVERSA-CANTU 30/12/23 CET 17:00 Aversa-Cantu, a game not suitable for the faint of heart. We predict an intense match, played at a high pace, where both teams will be determined to secure the 3 points. The two teams are direct rivals for reaching the playoff zone; both
