SuperLega, on Sunday on the field in Cisterna for the last turn of regular season

On Sunday March 20th, the twentieth and last turn of Superlega Credem Banca 2021/22 will be played. Itas Trentino will be finishing its path in the first phase of the Italian championship at Cisterna di Latina, guest of Top Volley, in the eighth place in the ranking. The kick-off is set at 6 p.m.: live by Radio Dolomiti and live streaming on the platform OTT Volleyball World Tv.
HERE ITAS TRENTINO The yellow-blue formation is ready for the last match of regular season with the certainty to be able to get at least at the third place in the ranking, but even with a (remote) opportunity to get to the second place, in case of victory with three point in Lazio and defeat of Cucine Lube in both matches that the latter team has still to play (on Sunday in Perugia, on next Wednesday at home against Milan), one of them in four sets at most. Angelo Lorenzetti’s team will play away without four regular players: Matey Kaziyski, Srecko Lisinac and Marco Podrascanin will remain in Trento to train differently and prepare for the final sprint of the season, while Daniele Lavia will be with the group but will not play because still injured at the abs, an injury that made him skip the last three official matches. In Cisterna, to thicken the number of the team, there will also be two players born in 2003 from UniTrento Volley of Serie B: the wing spiker Raul Parolari and the middle-blocker Stefano Dell’Osso. The latter will be in the starting six diagonally to Wout D’Heer.
“During the whole regular season that will finish this weekend, we have always given our all, regardless of who we played against and we will do so also in this match, knowing the difficulties of the match but even knowing that we have available six young, Italian players enthusiastic to play this match with the right attitude,” said Angelo Lorenzetti while presenting the match. “We liked our championship so far and we want to finish well this first phase, without forgetting that we are going to face a team like Top Volley, which make matches difficult to so many other teams, including the ones that are near us in the ranking.”
In the regular six players, there will certainly be Oreste Cavuto, who for the occasion will wear the captain’s armband, putting the cherry on the top of a career started in the junior teams of Trentino Volley. The last turn of regular season will be the 932th official match for the yellow-blue team, the 504th away match, and will see the team seeking for its 651th success.
THE OPPONENTS Top Volley Cisterna awaits Itas Trentino in the last home match of its regular season aiming to try and obtain a result the can allow the team, after five years since last time, to achieve the qualification to the Play Off Scudetto. In order to achieve this goal without looking at the results of other matches (racing for the eighth place occupied at the moment by the team from Lazio, there are also Taranto, with less than a point, Padova and Verona two places below), Fabio Soli’s team needs a victory with any score, possibly number ten in a championship where the mathematical safety was achieved last weekend thanks to the score of 3-1 in Ravenna. The season for the team stood out thanks to some important moments, like the away successes in Milan and Modena and the 3-0 in Piacenza, and thanks to a very regular block. Only Itas Trentino made more points in this fundamental (228 against 225 by the team from Lazio), but between the players of Top Volley there are great players like the ex regular Zingel (3rd blocker with 54) and the opposite spiker Dirlic.
The Croatian was among the most beautiful surprises in the championship of the team and, together with Rinaldi, is among the reference points in the play set by Baranowicz, who can also count on the professional player Maar.
THE PREVIOUS MATCH Together with Verona, Top Volley is the sixth Club faced by Trentino Volley the most times in official matches, in total the matches are forty-two. Only Civitanova (84), Modena (78), Piacenza (62), Cuneo (47) and Perugia (45) can praise more. The evaluation is in favour of the Club of Trener street for 34-8, with a series of consecutive matches still opened in favour of Trento, which have been lasting for fourteen matches. In order to find a success of the team from Lazio one must go back to April 13th 2014 (1-3 in Trento), in a match valid for the play-off for the 5th place. At home, Latina could find more successes: five times in twenty-one matches. Among the fifteen victories achieved by Trentino Volley in Lazio, there are seven that are recent, the last one of them was with a score of 3-1 on November 1st 2020 with partials of (17-25, 20-25, 25-22, 24-26). In the match of the first round, played last December 19th at BLM Group Arena, Lorenzetti’s team won in three sets (25-15, 25-14, 25-22).
