Both teams that will tread the taraflex of the Opiquad Arena in Wednesday’s match are coming off a win and a loss: Milan comes from a 3-0 success in the opener with Bergamo and a fifth-set loss to Chieri, while the Marche ladies come from two tie-breaks – against Perugia and Florence – and come to Monza with ten sets in their legs.

Returning to Lombardy soil for Sonia Candi, best blocker of last year’s Tigotà Serie A1 and great former of this challenge, who wore the rosablu jersey for seven seasons (2015 to 2018 and 2021 to 2024).

A key match then for the two formations, which will take the field with the’goal of winning the entire stake.
