On the Cinderella field to close the discussion direct salvation. There Teamnetwork Albatro is ready for the trip to Emilia valid for the 25th and penultimate day of the regular season of the Serie A Gold men’s handball championship. The match will be refereed by the Nguyen – Stilo duo and will be played on Saturday 27 April at 7pm with live streaming on PallamanoTv on YouTube a few minutes before the starting whistle.
The Sicilians, fresh from the victory over Cingoli last Saturday, are looking for the two points to celebrate their new stay in the national top flight. The blurancio coached by Mateo Garralda with 18 points and their eighth position with two days to go see the finish line approaching.
Carpi, on the other hand, with just six points collected is virtually in Serie A Silver. It would take a miracle to catch Secchia Rubiera who has four more points to at least reach the play outs.
Even a draw could be enough for Teamnetwork Albatro to hit the big target with 60 minutes to spare.
But the island seven is also interested in the challenge between Secchia Rubiera and Sparer Eppan while Macagi Cingoli seeks the feat with Cassano Magnago who is playing for the last hopes of reaching the play off zone. And Trieste goes to the Pressano parquet. In short, the salvation tussle can offer different scenarios. The certainty will be the victory with two platinum points in the farm.
In the first leg the Sicilians won 30-27, still suffering from the opponent’s attack. Among other things, Cinderella’s attack is more prolific than that of many other teams, Teamnetwork Albatro included.
The defense makes the difference: the Sicilians can boast one of the best defensive departments in the category with 687 goals conceded (average of 28.6 per game); the Emilians collected 809 (33.7 on average). However, the numbers take their time: on the pitch it will take determination and concentration to avoid blackouts. The latter phenomenon has slowed down the progress of the bluarancio, capable of competing with anyone but also suffering bitter disappointments on several occasions.
