There is very little left until the end of the regular season and therefore the last points must absolutely be won.
Reggio Emilia knows something about it and is truly one step away from qualifying for the next playoffs. However, he could very well obtain them by winning the PalaBigi match on Sunday 28 April at 6.15pm (exclusive live on DAZN) against Napoli.
A direct clash for the playoffs in which – in reality – Napoli has much more to lose, but UNAHOTELS will have to do it without the injured Jamar Smith (subluxation of the left shoulder).
WHAT WORKS
At home Reggio Emilia always manages to give its best, it does so with the unpredictability of its wingers Weber, Galloway and Vitali (Smith will not be there due to injury). But pay attention to the internal game. Faye is constantly growing, but Tarik Black is increasingly getting into coach Priftis’ mechanisms. This is demonstrated by the performance of the former Olympiacos at the Segafredo Arena in Bologna.
WHAT IS NOT WORKING
The ups and downs of their leaders. Probably due to poor physical and health conditions (Smith is out and Weber has just returned from a stoppage), but a turning point will be needed in view of the playoffs.
THE KEY DUEL
Without a shadow of a doubt we expect a lot from the duel between Langston Galloway and Jacob Pullen. They are two of the greatest talents and scorers in our Serie A and on Sunday we will have the chance to see them pitted against each other on the same parquet.
THE MAGIC MOMENT
We want to highlight Tarik Black’s moment.
The big American, who arrived in the race, is increasingly getting into coach Priftis’ mechanisms and his improved performance is benefiting the whole team.
BM’S PREDICTION
The one between Reggio Emilia and Napoli at the PalaBigi will be one of the most difficult matches to predict of the entire season. A direct clash for access to the next playoffs.
So our prediction says 60% Reggio Emilia, 40% Naples
