The’Allianz Vero Volley Milan è is ready to return to the court for the twelfth and penultimate day of the return leg of the Serie A1 Tigotà. Tomorrow, Saturday, March 16 at 17.00 (live TV Volleyballworld.it), the team coached by Marco Gaspari will challengeà Il Bisonte Firenze.

Orro and her teammates will have the opportunity to try to recover the second position in the standings, which is only one point (58 to 57) away from Scandicci, and at the same time to secure the third position, in view of the Playoffs now just around the corner.

It will be the 20th confrontation in history between the two teams, with the balance leaning in favor of the Milanese thanks to 12 wins and 7 losses. As many as four – between players and technical staff – are the exes of the match. Among the ranks of Florence have played the center Sonia Candi (2018/2019) and the Dutch setter Nika Daalderop (2018/2019, 2019/2020); Milan, on the other hand, will see again on the other side of the net Alessia Mazzarro  and coach Carlo Parisi.

Milan will have to rely on a convincing serve, led by Paola Egonu, second in the special ranking of “best acers” with 39 winning serves on the season. The Venetian opposing è on the other hand, leads among the “best spikers” of Serie A1 Tigotà, strong with her 516 points scored, ahead of Rome’s Bici (461). Moving on to Florence, the Tuscans are fresh off a fine 3-0 win away from home against Reale Fenera Mutua Chieri. Therefore, they have archived on the right foot the previous round’s knockout against Vallefoglia, which had effectively ended the playoff discourse for the Bisontine, whose only imperative now is to close the season with pride.
