Hermaea Olbia is chasing poker with Millenium Brescia. To try to mortgage salvation. Fresh from the success in Bologna, third in a row after the victories over Pescara and Padua, Dino Guadalupi's team faces the vice-leaders of the A2 women's volleyball team at home on Sunday, in the match that inaugurates the second round.
Sixth with 25 points, equal on points with Bologna, the Gallura team will try to exploit the field factor to obtain that result which could earn them a top 5 finish, useful for ensuring they remain in the category. But the GeoPalace will also need a performance worthy of the objective. “We face the match strong on a positive streak, the result of a good balance found in the last period. The team expresses itself with greater quality and confidence, and this is also evident during the week", stated Guadalupi when presenting the match against Brescia.
“We are aware that we are facing one of the toughest opponents in the entire pool, a team built for perhaps higher objectives, which in recent matches has gone through a moment of difficulty dictated by important absences among the starting players. We don't know how they will present themselves on Sunday, but this shouldn't affect us too much,” explains the Hermaea coach. “Our balance, at the moment, lies in the strength of the entire squad and in the different possibilities of overcoming the technical difficulties of the match with alternative solutions. The team – adds the coach from Brindisi – is overcoming the flu problems experienced in the last two weeks, and in the last period has managed to train quite regularly: a positive result would be very important in terms of rankings”.
Teams on the pitch at 5pm: referees Luca Pescatore and Fabio Sumeraro.
