Ducal derby at Tullo Massera in Parma between Junior and Piazzenza BaseballIn Serie B, a double match is scheduled (Sunday 30 June at 11.00 and 15.00) with a good portion of safety in terms of the standings at stake.
important match after a long series of postponements
The two contenders are only slightly distant with the red and whites third and the Parma team fifth on equal terms with Brescia, all for a ranking partly distorted by the postponements of the last few weeks due to bad weather. In practice, only the last two, Ares and Porta Mortara who will have a thrilling direct clash on Sunday, have been able to honor the calendar while all the others, some more than others, will be struggling with recoveries.
Piacenza is actually the team with the greatest delay given the three postponements suffered (game 2 in Avigliana and the double home match with Brescia). In essence, in the last four weeks, between breaks and storms, Piacenza has played a paltry three games and in order not to fail in the derby it will be important to immediately regain feeling with the field and competitive spirit.
a derby not to be missed
Given that, at least until its mathematical achievement, the seasonal objective remains salvation, in Parma the stakes are represented by important points to shore up a more than satisfactory third place so far even if far from the two queens of the group Avigliana and Sala Baganza. In light of the previous considerations, looking up is not a good idea because dizziness could play tricks on you. Better to live from day to day trying to reach the minimum targets expected as soon as possible and in this sense the derby with the Junior could say a lot. The recent postponements have at least helped the progressive emptying of the infirmary and Andrea D’Auria will finally be able to make his training choices without too many impediments.
