It will be played entirely tomorrow, on Sunday November 21st, the sixth round of the regular season of 2015/16 Super League UnipolSai.

HERE DIATEC TRENTINO The triptych of matches in Super League dedicated exclusively to teams from Emilia Romagna (on Thursday 12th against Piacenza, on Sunday in Forlì and tomorrow against Modena) ends with one of the most anticipated events of the entire home regular season of the Italian champions. Lanza and his teammates will face in front of their audience the leader DHL, against whom in the last eleven months have given birth to seven challenges and all the finals of Italian trophies that can be assigned (Italian Cup, Championship and Italian Super Cup).
The tricolor chase victory to keep beeing at the top of the ranking and confirm their positive streak between the friendly walls of PalaTrento where in the league, between the regular season and the playoffs, have won the last nineteen official matches (last lost was against Modena on March 27th, 2014).
"This is an important match, in which we come, however, without having had the opportunity to prepare on right time but also Modena has our same problems” - said Radostin Stoytchev when presenting the match -. “I always told at this time that the result comes before the game, but it is quite obvious that to beat such a strong team must manage to pull off a performance of high level".
The coach of Diatec Trentino, which on this occasion will celebrate its 350^ presence on the yellow-blue bench (291 victories and 58 defeats), will once again not be able to count on Urnaut (at work, but in a different way). Before the match, the Yellow-blue will held two more sessions with the ball (one today afternoon and one tomorrow).
The match against the historical opponent of Modena will be the official match number 620 of the Club of Via Trener, the 388^ in the regular season and comes to an end of ten particularly positive days, when the Italian champions have got all three points with LPR, CMC and Paok.
PREVIOUSLY Modena is the opponent that Trentino Volley has faced the most number of times in official matches: 55 among regular season (30), playoffs (21), Italian Cup (3) and Italian Super Cup (1). The budget is favorable to the Company of via Trener both in the total computing (33-22), and in that referred only to the calendar year 2015, in which Diatec Trentino and DHL Modena were challenged already seven times (4-3). In spite of this, the Emilians haven’t won in Palatrento since one year and eight months (the most recent success is dated on March 27th, 2014 - 3-0 in Game 1 of the playoff quarterfinals) and, more generally, it did so only six times in twenty-six previous ones. The last played in PalaTrento was on May 13th, for Game 3 of the final (3-0 of Trento leaded by Giannelli and Djuric); the only crossing already played this season, instead, it refers to the Del Monte Italian Super Cup a month ago in PalaPanini (on October 25th) with the host victory at the tie-break (37-35, 23-25, 23-25, 25-23, 11-15) and the great distance challenge between opposites (Vettori 30, Djuric 29).
