The last month of the regular season begins, four games and then it will be time for the Final Four. After the knockout of Budrio and the rest period last week, Despar returns to the Pala 4T parquet for another direct clash of capital importance for the rankings, in particular for third place in the group.
Granata’s opponent will be Granarolo, who are trailing by just two points and who are still seeking mathematical qualification to the second phase, even if it seems unlikely that Riccione, in an excellent period of form, can worry the Bolognese.
And coach Millina’s boys are also enjoying a good moment: they arrive in Ferrara on a positive streak with four consecutive successes, including against Budrio and Villanova. Despar, however, will try to overturn the defeat of the first leg, when, after a hard-fought first half, Bertacchini and his teammates took off for the final 79-63.
Tap-off today Saturday 4 May at 6.30pm at Pala 4T.
