Trento, February 10^th 2017

After exactly three months and a half of the season, the match against Lube Civitanova and Diatec Trentino sees the first two teams in the ranking confronting each other, like in the first half of the season (match played on November 13^th and won 3-1 by the yellow-blue team). The match is scheduled on Sunday, February 12^th at Eurosole Forum and it will be the tenth match of the second half of the season. Also in this case, the ranking first is Lube, that, unlike that occasion, will maintain its leading role also in the event of a defeat. Diatec Trentino will leave for Marche with the aim to be the only team that has never lost a home match; together with Angelo Lorenzetti’s team, in effect, Lube is the only other team that has never lost a home match, winning 14 matches in a row (11 in regular season, one in Coppa Italia and two in Champions League). Since when the club from Marche moved to Civitanova, Trentino Volley has never won at Lube’s home: two defeats in two matches, taking into accounts the KO at the tiebreak on March 1^st 2015 and the 0-3 on March 6^th 2016.
