2020 Supercoppa: in the semi-final the challenge against Lube is renewed

New formula but well known opponent. The Del Monte Supercoppa 2020, scheduled for the second half of September, will present different development methods compared to the recent past but will once again see Itas Trentino face in the semi-final a team that now knows very well and that has challenged several times, even if only in the single competition. The match which will assign a place in the Final of 25 September at the Arena in Verona will see the yellow-blue as protagonists of a double challenge against Cucine Lube Civitanova: the first round is scheduled at BLM Group Arena for Sunday 13 September, the second round is instead seven days later (Sunday 20 September) at the Eurosole Forum. For Trentino Volley, the duel against Lube has become a pleasant habit in the SuperCoppa, just think that the two teams have already faced each other in the competition four times and in five circumstances in the last twelve months, including those of the regular season, Coppa Italia and Champions League. On 13 September, moreover, they will start exactly from where the speech was interrupted: Cucine Lube Civitanova-Itas Trentino 3-2 of 8 March (match valid for the twenty-third day of SuperLega) was in fact the last official game played by two clubs before the lockdown.
