A match that counts for little or nothing for Varese, mathematically certain of survival, but which for Pistoia could be of capital importance. At 6.15pm on Sunday, in conjunction with all the other matches, the two teams will face each other at PalaCarrara. Especially for the Tuscans, the match will have vital importance in terms of the playoffs.
In fact, if Pistoia were to win and both Reggio Emilia and Trento lost, they could reach fifth position. It is therefore not going very well for Openjobmetis, who will have to make a very solid defensive showing, to make up for the blunder made against Treviso, although the reasons will not be very great. Above all because Nicola Brienza’s team dreams of a place of honor in the playoffs, precisely that fifth position which would allow them to truly dream of a memorable journey.
However, Varese will not want to make up for their 19th defeat in the championship, despite the difficult away match. It would be important for everyone to finish in the best possible way, perhaps giving minutes back to Okeke who had done so much good in Sassari and was not allowed to play against Treviso. Above all because the client to be marked will be very inconvenient: that Ogbeide who is dominating the rebounds and points charts as a center. And physical size will be one of the factors of the match.
