2020 Italia Cup, on Sunday is defined the grid of the Final Eight

The three points conquered on Sunday evening at the Palacoccia in Veroli have enabled the Trentino Volley to confirm its fourth place in the ranking, but without being able to have the mathematical certainty to occupy it at the end of the first round. The result is important especially with a view of the combination in the quarter final of the 2020 Del Monte® Italian Cup, in which enter the first eight classified in the regular season of the 2019/20 SuperLeague UnipolSai and that is played at home of the team with the best ranking.
In order to host at the BLM Group Arena the direct elimination match, which will take place the 23 of January 2020 and that will assign a place in the Final Four in Bologna (22-23 of February), the Angelo Lorenzetti’s team must succeed in rejecting the attempted assault of Milan to the position of Trentino Volley, who in the ranking has two more point of the Allianza.
The placement of the Trentino Volley at the end of the first round can change between the third and the fifth place, given that currently in the ranking Modena counts a single length more than Giannelli and his team.
It will be all decided in the next turn which is planned on the 22th of December; in that occasion the Leo Shoes team will meet the Vibo Valentia team, the players of Milan will go to Verona and the Itas Trentino will wait for Civitanova in the recovery of the tenth day originally scheduled for December 1. In order to be sure to be among the first four at the turn of the buoy, without having to look at the results of the other teams, the Trentino Volley will have to win with any score their match. It could be that all three teams end the first leg at 25; in that case Modena would keep its position, while Itas Trentino would give up its position only in case of success for 3-0 of Lombardy in the Scaligeri for worst set quotient (second discriminating after the number of victories in case of equal number of points).
The actual answers determined by the real results of the field will arrive in six days. Before that turn, the gialloblù team (who will return to train after a day and a half of rest in the afternoon of Tuesday ) will focus on the European race in 2020 CEV Champions League: Thursday, December 19 at 20:30 at BLM Group Arena will arrive in fact the Czechs of Jihostroj Ceske Budejovice for the match valid for the third round of Pool A (included in the subscription).
