Cisterna Volley and Prisma are competing for the last available spot in the Coppa Italia playoffs. The stakes are high as both teams are aiming to secure their place in the prestigious competition.
Prisma’s Challenge
Prisma will play on Friday, and they need to secure all three points in their match. If they manage this, Cisterna will then need to earn at least one point (by winning at least two sets) in their Sunday match against Mint Vero Volley Monza to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the Coppa Italia.
Mint Vero Volley Monza’s Struggles
Mint Vero Volley Monza, the silver medalists from last season, have struggled to find form this season. Currently sitting in 11th place with a 3-7 record, they will be looking at their trip to Cisterna as a critical opportunity to turn their season around and climb the standings.
Weekend SuperLega Showdown: Perugia vs Piacenza
Outside of the Coppa Italia race, the SuperLega match between Sir Susa Vim Perugia and Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza is also attracting attention. Defending champions Perugia remain unbeaten with a 10-0 record, hoping to extend their lead over second-placed Itas Trentino Trento. On the other hand, Piacenza is fighting to surpass Cucine Lube Civitanova and secure third place. A victory for Piacenza would keep them in the race for the top positions.
