Bologna, 27 April 2024 – The banner of the finish line of the regular season of the Serie A basketball championship: todaySunday 28 April, in fact, with all the matches concurrently and at 6.15 pm, the 29th and penultimate round will be played, which could go down in the annals of important verdicts on the season. At the top, a clash will be staged at the Mediolanum Forum in Assago which could give away a share of leadership: they will face each other in a Lombard derby which will be broadcast live on DAZN and DMAX (channel 52 of digital terrestrial) will be EA7 Emporio Armani Milano hosts and Germani Bresciawhich until last week was first solo. An interested spectator of this clash, to say the least, is Virtus Segafredo Bologna, tied – at 40 points – with the Milanese and Brescians but with the possible ranking tilted in their favor. To continue leading the group, however, the Bianconeri will not be able to afford any missteps in the scheduled match on the Bertram Derthona Tortona field (race live on DAZN), currently eighth and looking for playoff points. However, the Generazione Vincente Napoli is also fighting for a place in the top eight of the class, but they will no longer be able to make missteps and will necessarily have to leave the PalaBigi, home of Unahotels Reggio Emilia (match live on DAZN) which, at 30, he is one step away from participating in the post-season. The arithmetic, however, does not condemn Dinamo Sassari, Givova Scafati and Vanoli Cremona to exclusion from the playoff race either: and precisely between the Sassari team, which presents itself at the starting line of the match after the home defeat against Varese, and the yellow-blue team – which has been defeated in three of the last four outings – will stage an important inside-out match that will be played at the Beta Ricambi Arena, in Campania (match live on DAZN). Vanoli could instead be the referee of the race for salvation: the Lombardy blue and whites – who have achieved the certainty of playing in Serie A next year after beating Brescia, will go to the Vitrifrigo Arena to visit Carpegna Prosciutto Pesaro (match live on DAZN) which, instead, has its back to the wall and can no longer make mistakes if it doesn’t want to say goodbye to the category beforehand: the Marche team, despite having won two of the last three outings, in fact shares the last position at 18 points with Happy Casa Brindisi and must necessarily try to bring home four points in the remaining two matches – obviously also hoping for favorable results from others – to gain the coveted stay in A. TAmong the matches that consequently influence the race for salvation there is also the one that will be staged at the Itelyum Arena between Openjobmetis Varese and Nutribullet Treviso (match live on DAZN and Eurosport 2): after having beaten Sassari, the red and whites from Lombardy have earned a buffer of four safety points from the hot relegation zone, while Treviso is only +2 from the pairing formed, as underlined, from Pesaro and Brindisi, which will be awaited by a prohibitive match to say the least at home against Umana Reyer Venezia fourth in the rankings (match live on DAZN). Finally, returning to the playoff zone, the match at the “Il T Quotidiano Arena” between Dolomiti Energia Trentino – already certain of a place in the top eight – and the freshman Estra Pistoia who is one step away from the post-season dream.
