Hokkaido returns to the field at 19,30:19,30 p.m. after the defeat suffered in recent days in Modena, at Villadoro’s home: with the obligation to win, in order not to mathematically say goodbye to second place, the last one available for the playoffs. The rossoblù will host the fourth-placed Scanzorosciate at 6:XNUMX p.m. at PalaCopernico, a match postponed as it was initially scheduled for Saturday, the day of Pope Francis’ funeral. Instead, Villadoro played and won on Sunday in Cremona, now at +XNUMX on the rossoblù.
But Bologna will then play on Saturday in Mirandola, while Tranports will host the fourth-last team in the Remedello class: the calendar is uphill, a feat might not be enough for Hokkaido, considering that Villadoro now has its destiny in its own hands: Bologna is obliged to win to continue to hope, at least until Saturday.
The other matches: Cremonese-Transports Villadoro 1-3, Mgr Grassobbio-Stadium Mirandola, Ferramenta Astori Montichiari-Arredopark Dual Caselle, Modena Volley-Volley Veneto Benacus, Canottieri Ongina-Imecon Crema, Radici Products Cazzago-Kema Asola Remedello. Rest: Univolley Carpi.
The ranking: Stadium Mirandola 69; Transports Villadoro 62; Hokkaido Bologna 56; Zotup Scanzorosciate 52; Arredopark Dual Caselle 50; Volley Veneto Benacus 45; Radici Products Cazzato 34; Modena Volley 33; Ferramenta Astori Montichiari 32; Cremonese 31; Canottieri Ongina 30; Kema Asola Remedello 27; Imecon Crema 18; Univolley Carpi 17; Mgr Grassobbio 14.
In B1 women, however, the playoffs are secured by Fcredil Bologna, leader of the women’s group C: after the recoveries of the third-last day, the rossoblù are certain of at least third place which guarantees the promotion race, awaiting the direct clash with the second Riccione on Saturday which will be worth the lead.
