Trento, April 20th 2017
As soon as the match of Perugia ended, begun the ticket-presale for match 5 of semi-final Play Off Scudetto UnipolSai 2017 scheduled for Saturday 22nd April at 6 pm at PalaTrento between Diatec Trentino and Sir Safety Conad Perugia. There are three channels of sale (match not included in the seasonal ticket): Trentino Volley offices in via Trener 2 in Trento, Promo Event in Via Suffragio 10 in Trento and Internet at http://www.vivaticket.it/ita/event/diatec-trentino-play-off-semifinale-match-5/96706.
The owners of a seasonal ticket have time until today, Thursday 20th April, at 9 pm to exercise their pre-emption right, also online, in order to keep the seat that they usually occupied during the season. The so-called “bella” - tie-break to proclaim the winner of a series of knock-out matches – has become a custom for Trentino Volley in the play Off Scudetto. During the fourteen previous seasons, where it participated in the Play Off phase, the Club of via Trener has played ten matches similar to that of Saturday, being able to win six of them: two against Modena (season 2005/06, 3-2 at PalaPanini in match 3 with qualification to the semi-finals and season 2010-11, 3-1 at PalaTrento in match 5 with qualification to the Final, which it then won against Cuneo), two against Piacenza (matches that gave the victory of the championship: 3-0 at PalaTrento in match 3 of Final 2008 and 3-2 always at PalaTrento in match 5 of Final 2013), one, the most recent, against Molfetta (3-1 at PalaTrento in the quarter-final 2016) and another against Perugia (victory at the tie-break in match 3 of semi-final 2015). The only home tie-break, which saw Trento lose, was match 5 of Final championship 2009, lost at PalaTrento at the tie-break against Piacenza; on the contrary, the team has won the other five tie-breaks.
The tie-break is the most frequent result; the fifth set has been useful six times out of ten “belle” played by the Yellow-blues, with three positive results for the Club of Trentino.
