Reale Mutua Fenera Chieri '76 Takes On Busto Arsizio at PalaFenera for Playoff Challenge
Reale Mutua Fenera Chieri '76 is set to return to PalaFenera for its third fixture in the Playoff Challenge. This Wednesday, March 25, at 8:00 PM, they will face Eurotek Laica Uyba. This match is a rescheduled game from the first day, originally planned when both teams were still engaged in the Scudetto quarterfinals.
Riding high on convincing victories against Macerata and Il Bisonte, the white-and-blue squad remains undefeated and holds a perfect record, leading Group A. They are tied on points with Florence, though Chieri has played two fewer matches. A favorable outcome in this game would solidify their position at the top. In contrast, Busto, with just 2 points after two games, is under pressure and cannot afford any missteps to avoid falling further behind in the standings.
This season, Chieri and Busto have already clashed three times: twice during the regular season and once in the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa quarterfinals. Chieri emerged victorious in all three encounters, extending their head-to-head advantage to 11 wins out of 19 total matches between the two clubs. Notable former players for Busto include Ilaria Spirito, Laura Dervisaj, and Alice Degradi.
Elles Dambrink, who was awarded MVP last Sunday in Florence, shared her thoughts on the eve of the game: "Against Il Bisonte, we had a rather slow start in the first set, but we managed to turn the situation around and secure a 3-1 victory. After just three days, we're back on the court against Busto. We need to prepare meticulously, study their videos thoroughly, and be ready for any player changes they might implement."
