Just three days after the Italian Cup final, Numia Vero Volley Milano is set for another showdown against Prosecco Doc Imoco Conegliano. The highly anticipated match, part of Serie A1 Tigotà’s ninth return round, will take place on Wednesday, February 12 at the sold-out Palaverde in Villorba (live on Rai Sport and VBTV).
This marks the fifth encounter of the season and the 39th overall between the two teams. Milano is eager for redemption after losing the Italian Cup final and suffering a 3-0 defeat in the first leg at the Unipol Forum. Meanwhile, Conegliano aims to extend its dominant winning streak and solidify its top spot in the standings. Key players in this clash include Olympic gold medalists Paola Egonu, Anna Danesi, and Myriam Sylla.
Conegliano’s Strength
Reigning Italian and European champions, Conegliano has reinforced its squad with top volleyball stars like Gabi, Zhu, Lukasik, and rising star Adigwe. The team boasts a strong lineup featuring captain Wolosz, Haak, and Olympic champions De Gennaro, Lubian, and Fahr, under the guidance of coach Santarelli.
Pre-Match Statement
Milano’s head coach Stefano Lavarini remains confident: “This will be a different game from the Italian Cup final. Facing the league leaders on their home court is a tough challenge, but we are improving and will bring maximum motivation to the match.”
