VL Pesaro is by no means the master of its own destiny. To save yourself, it’s not enough to win next Sunday in Mestre against Reyer Veneziawhich is already not a given, even if the Venetians have nothing more to ask for from this regular season because they are mathematically fourth. They also have to hope for a series of lucky hits.
First of all Treviso must lose at PalaVerde against Tortona arithmetically in the playoffs and who can only finish 7th by winning and hoping for a defeat by Trento against Virtus Bologna, who in turn must take home the full spoils to finish at the top of the Serie A rankings. In short, a defeat of the Nutribullet is not so impossiblegiven that Bertram Yachts could finish 7th and not 8th, without then considering the different technical values on the field with the Piedmontese clearly favored over the Venetians.
Pistoia, Varese’s next opponent, must win to maintain at least 6th place in the ranking against an Openjobmetis team that is already mathematically safedespite the KO against Treviso yesterday in Masnago.
In case of arrival at equal points between Varese, Treviso and Pesaro, Carpegna Prosciutto would still be relegated. This means that the Marches are saved only in the event of a victory for Varese in Pistoia and a defeat for Treviso in Casale Monferrato against Tortona, taking Pesaro’s success in Venice for granted – which is not to be taken for granted.
In summary, as we wrote in the title of the article, coach Meo Sacchetti’s VL Pesaro needs a half-miracle to save itself but, as long as there is hope, there is life, as an old saying goes…
