Estra Pistoia, against Brindisi you can go to Heaven

Sunday’s match could lead to the play-offs for Estra and the relegation of Brindisi. But, before the ball, pay attention to the other fields

Incredible but true, next weekend could decide Estra Pistoia’s qualification for the play-offs. And it could also arrive while, on the other side of the fieldBrindisi’s relegation will become mathematical after a long time 12 years in the top flight. The ying and yang, the light and the dark that could mix on the PalaCarrara parquet. AND the most special thing of all is that the challenge between the Tuscans and the Apulians will begin with most of the results coming from the other fields already definitive.

ESTRA, WHAT DO YOU NEED TO CELEBRATE?

Quite simply, Pistoia must only think about winning. This is the “sine qua non” for the red and whites to get the party started after the final siren. Before the start of the contest and during the match there will be three matches under the magnifying glass: Sassari-Varese which will be staged at noon (therefore well before), Milan-Scafati (two-ball at 5pm) e Naples-Trentwhich will instead start at 7pm. The Sardinians will face an opponent who has yet to close the question of salvation, while the Neapolitans will find themselves against a direct competitor for the postseason.

With Sassari and Scafati who are now at 24 points and Naples just above at 26, it is clear that these competitors can no longer make mistakes to remain any longer attached to the play-off train. In fact, if all three were to lose their respective challenges, Estra would also benefit: unattainable for Dinamo and Givova (who have the direct clash in favor) and only comparable for GeVi (who lost both matches in the championship). In short, the play-offs would be, without mincing too many words, reality.

For Della Rosa and his companions, in fact, it is fundamental put Naples at -4because that would also mean having two wins to put on the record in any scenario from a separate ranking. But even distancing Scafati and Sassari by 6 points wouldn’t be bad, though the 1-1 that would be expectedwith several teams on equal points, does not represent a problem, especially if there were some in the group both Naples and Tortona (4 wins and 0 losses). In short, in the event of a victory for the Sardinians and Salerno, Pistoia would still not be able to celebrate as a matter of detail.

HOPEFUL OR ALREADY RESIGNED?

Another and very different question of details still holds Brindisi in Serie A. Happy Casa, after having failed to reach the goal by losing against Reggio Emilia, is now there one step away from the abyss. Except for very remote scenarios, the only thing that separates the Apulians from relegation is a possible defeat at PalaCarrara. However, the team coached by coach Dragan Sakota could reach the moment of the ball already with certainty of no longer being able to reach the goal. As said before, Varese will be busy at midday at Sassari’s home, while Treviso will have to succeed in the feat beat Reyer Venezia at Taliercio (5.30pm).

If Openjobmetis and Nutribullet win, for a Brindisi beaten in Pistoia the curtain would irremediably fall. But to do it scale needle it is above all Varese: Happy Casa would in fact still find themselves in the game if the Lombards won the PalaSerradimigni and Treviso lost the Venetian derby. So just a possible separate ranking with the latter and Pesaro it would be the only tiny possibility of salvation. A case study so remote that it does not give rise to any case with too many hopes.

In short, both for Pistoia and Brindisi must align several favorable events. Three results for the red and whites and two for the Apulians, excluding what they have to achieve on their challenge pitch. With three rounds to goEstra’s chances of reaching a final verdict are not high but not even very low or zero. And after a season like this, too hope for a perfect Sunday he’s not that naive after all.
