Pavia is looking for a raise at PalaRavizza after the bad knockout with Oleggio. At PalaBasletta the clash at the top of group A

PAVIA

A key Sunday for the ambitions of Riso Scotti Pavia, engaged at PalaRavizza (6 pm) against Omegna in a crucial challenge in the race for the playoffs, and for Elachem Vigevano which hosts San Miniato at Basletta (6 pm) in the intriguing clash at the top of group A: whoever wins closes the first leg alone in the lead.

Pavia to get up

Without the new play, but with a great desire to make up for it, Scotti faces Paffoni Omegna today without Giorgio Sgobba, who stopped in the last training session, while Vladimir Rajacic, the latest arrival, will make his debut. The Serbian guard winger, born in 2000. could start in the starting lineup, given that he is in good physical condition and in the last training session he worked with his teammates on patterns and movements. Omegna appears in Pavia without the former Piazza, Balanzoni and Neri. The playmaker broke his cruciate ligament and his season is already over, while the pivot will resume in a couple of months. Even though weighed down by these absences, Omegna can always count on a shooter like the Albanian Franko Bushati, 37 years old used to burning Serie A retinas and Planezio, newly promoted with Piacenza, one of the best “4” of the cadeterie. Flanking the stars are Birindelli, the outsiders Santucci, Taddeo, Neri and the long Macedonian Jokic, as well as Mirco Turel. On the bench Flavio Fioretti. «The stakes go beyond two points – warns coach Fabio Di Bella – my team must react to the lack of aggression, intensity and clarity highlighted in the defeat at Oleggio. I expect everyone to have a different attitude at home, especially against a big player like Omegna, who is going through a difficult time, like everyone else. In this match, pride, trust and enthusiasm are involved. We have prepared the game carefully. It will be important to mentally immerse yourself in the match and keep it until the end. Rajacic? He is a talented young man, he knows how to score and defend in multiple roles. He’s got character and he got in right away. It is useful for lengthening the rotations, he will have minutes and space against Omegna ». For access to the PalaRavizza, a reinforced Green pass and Ffp2 mask are required.

Vigevano to put the arrow

Today is the day of truth for Elachem Vigevano. «San Miniato – says coach Paolo Piazza – we remember it well because it swept us away in last season’s playoffs. An extraordinary team, which changes coaches and players, but always remains competitive. He has an intelligent way of playing, he hits his opponents in the weak points, he imposes his way of playing both in attack and in defense ». The Tuscans and the yellow and blue have both lost two games. «What we are facing – continues coach Piazza – will be a very difficult match. So far our opponents have missed only one match since the start of the season, losing at home to Florence. In that case they lost badly, also due to the percentages of the opponents. The defeat with Alba was instead fortuitous, San Miniato dominated the whole game undergoing a comeback in the final. It is useless to remember which and how many are their strong players, such as Quartuccio, Lorenzetti, Caversazio, Tozzi and Mastrangelo, because their strength is also in the collective. They never break down. We are happy to have reached the final eight of the Italian Cup with last week’s victory. For us it is a great satisfaction. Now we have the challenge for the first place, but even if we were to lose we would still have concluded the first leg with an excellent record of points ».
