The 21st round of the regular season of Super League UnipolSai 2014/15 will take place between today and tomorrow. The ENERGY TI Diatec Trentino will be the stars of this match, enduring the Cucine Lube Banca Marche which is ranked third in its class. The match will be played in the brand new indoor stadium of Civitanova Marche (Macerata province) tomorrow, Sunday, March 1st, 2015, with kick-off scheduled at 4:30pm, streamed live on RAI Sport 1 TV, and broadcasted on Radio Dolomiti.
The league leaders opened their chant facing one of the most difficult away games of the entire regular season. The match which will take place in the new home of Lube, and is Trentinos’ first game to be played in Civitanova, which is a key event for the journey to the top of the league; Yellow-Blues statistically boast six points ahead of the Marche team but have already seen the round off (which the Trentino Volley will produce in the next days) and must therefore guard against the potential onslaught of Treia advance, in case it gains a 3-0 win or 3-1, and reach the standings of ENERGY TI Diatec Trentino.
The preparation for the match was therefore particularly accurate, with the coach Radostin Stoytchev: who understood the the stakes. "It's true that a victory or a defeat cannot be decisive since the end of the regular season, remains several rounds, but tomorrows match at Civitanova is definitely a crucial step for our ambitions and ranking - explained the Bulgarian coach regarding the match - We face a difficult undertaking, despite having the most points in the standings, we can’t start with the underdogs. But we have the advantage of going home with great results that could allow us to keep our opponents in-check for at least a couple of points”.
The coach will have the Bulgarian will since the last four days the team trained fully in PalaTrento. On Sunday morning between 9am to 10am, the Trentino Volley will depart for Civitanova in the early afternoon and survey the new stadium that is alien to them. Lube versus Trentino Volley has played 592 official games in its history (410 victories, 181 defeats) and will go on the pursuit of 114 ‘away’ victories in the regular season where they have not lost in over a month (last ko took place on January 25th, 2014 in Molfetta).

It will be the first meeting to be held in the new home of Lube, which previous games were played at ‘Fonte Scodella di Macerata’ - this place has been often breached by the Trentino team, who has passed nine of the seventeen performances that it completed in Marche.
