“It will be very tough – comments Fausto Perodi, Giallonero assistant coach – Villa d’Oro is a team equipped for the jump in category, very physical and in the first leg we suffered a lot from this aspect because up front we had a strong blocking team and solid in attack In this period we are working more on changing the ball and making fewer mistakes; we will play in a small gym and we will have to adapt to a game that is different from ours. We are ready, we hope to play a good match and once in a while get some satisfaction against a “big” team “of the group, an aspect that has never happened up to now”.

MIOVOLLEY-MOSAICO RAVENNA
Everest MioVolley at the second consecutive home match (played at 8.30pm): on Saturday in Gossolengo the girls of Mosaico Ravenna will be waiting with three matches left until the end of the season.
With the dream of being able to play for the promotion playoffs gone and with mathematical salvation secured for a few weeks already, MioVolley now has very little to ask of group C of Serie B1. Opposite situation for Ravenna which finds itself in penultimate place in the ranking with eighteen points gained in the twenty-one races played so far: for the Romagna team there remains some glimmer of hope in the race for salvation although the distance from eighth place is six points.
The first leg of last December 9th culminated with what was Everest’s first defeat without points: since then Ravenna has led a championship with rather mixed results and with a kaleidoscope of variations in the starting sextet where the fixed points are represented by two bands. On the Everest side, captain Chiara Scarabelli has almost completely recovered, seen only in small moments in the last internal match which saw MioVolley suffer a 3-0 defeat against Volley Modena.
VAP HOSTS GARLASCO – Home commitment for Vap who awaits the visit of Garlasco on Saturday at 9pm at the Salvadé Ex Genio Pontieri gym. prohibitive commitment: the hosts are last in the standings with only two points won, the guests are placed on the third step of the ranking

ALSENESE-COLLECCHIO
Home round in women’s B2 for Rossetti Market Conad, who will challenge Galaxy Collecchio on Saturday at 8.30 pm at the Alseno building in the fourth to last day of group E.
The Piacenza team coached by Paolo Bergamaschi arrives at the appointment after the defeat in the derby on the field of league leaders San Giorgio (3-1) which further distanced the gialloblù (winners of the Italian Cup in their category) from the play off zone. Falotico and her teammates are currently fourth with 44 points, seven away from second place (useful for the play offs) and nine away from the top. A very difficult comeback, although not yet impossible.
“I said to the girls – the words of coach Bergamaschi – ‘no giving up’; in terms of play-offs things have become even more complicated compared to the previous week, but nothing is impossible and the games are still open. We have the duty to try until the end bottom and finish the championship on top. Now the only thing that matters is getting on the pitch on Saturday and giving everything, then the rankings will be looked at at the end. Our wildcards are exhausted, we can’t make any more missteps.”
Then he adds. “Collecchio is a team with experienced players, with forwards who know how to shoot hard but also vary their shots. It will be important what we are able to put on the field in our half of the pitch. We want to return to winning the three points at home that are missing from first round. During the week I saw a good attitude in a positive atmosphere, the desire is to go back to seeing the team play as they did in certain situations.”
THE REFEREES – The match will be directed by the first referee Giuseppe Bressi and the second referee Michele Buonaccino D’Addiego.
THE SHIFT – This is the program for the fourth to last day of the women’s B2 group E.

ISUZU CEREA-VOLLEYBALL SANGIORGIO
Leaving behind the great success against Alsenese, Sangiorgio Volleyball is ready for the challenging trip to the Cerea Volleyball field.
Third in the standings with 48 points, the Veronese team made an important progress in the second round, winning seven matches and losing two against Soliera and Piadena; against Volleyball Sna Giorgio will want to consolidate his playoff ambitions. A historic club in the panorama of national volleyball, Pallavolo Cerea has played in the B1 and B2 championships in the last fifteen seasons, winning the B2 Italian Cup in 2012 when the event was open to registration, and over the years it has seen the of high quality players such as Roberta Zampieri, Irene Michelini, current sporting director of Volleyball Peschiera, Sara Angelini and Ylenia Pericati, former Imoco player. Not an easy opponent given the caliber of some of today’s players such as Camilla Cornelli, spiker from the Bergamo Uyba school with seasons in B1, Vigevano and Offanengo the main ones.
However, after the success in the derby at San Giorgio, confidence in their abilities and humility reign because the road is still long as coach Matteo Capra explains: “We are awaiting yet another important match of this championship finale. Cerea is a team built for promotion and in particularly good shape, this match must also be approached as if it were a playoff challenge. We need to ride the emotional wave of last week’s derby victory to give the rankings another shake-up.”
Kick-off at 9pm, in the municipal gym of San Vito a Cerea (Verona). Giuseppe Scarcella and Annarita Ferrara will direct the meeting.
