Trento, 22 November 2019

This Sunday in Modena the 73rd derby of the A22 motorway

 

Itas Trentino at work from this afternoon at BLM Group Arena to prepare the next 2019/20 regular season SuperLega Credem Banca match. The schedule does not allow breaks to the team, which already on Sunday, November 24th will come onto the court for a particularly important official match. At 6 p.m. at PalaPanini in Modena, the 73rd derby of the A22 motorway will be played with the hosts of Leo Shoes who, in the league, are keeping the same winning rhythm as our team’s (second place in the standings with eighteen points and only one loss in the first seven games). The run-up to the big match of the eighth round is marked by a double training session today (weights and then technique) and an afternoon session on Saturday before setting off for Emilia.
On Sunday evening (live coverage: RAI Sport + and Radio Dolomiti from 6 pm) the 73rd official match between Modena Volley and Trentino Volley will be played. The overall balance is clearly favourable to our team (42 W - 30 L) and has been further strengthened by six victories gained in the last eight matches. The most recent one was at PalaPanini on 17 March, a 3-0 win thanks to a huge performance from former Modena player Kovacevic (15 points). Moreover, Modena hasn't been winning the A22 motorway derby at home for three years: the last home win was on November 20th 2016 (3-2).
