“It will be a tough match. We're facing the third in the championship and winner of the Coppa Italia, but no result seems out of the question. The history of this championship to date says that Civitanova is unbeatable at home, so we have to try to do something unique up to now and we have the desire to try. We have to do what we haven't done away from home, and we are eager to go and play a great game. I hope that the importance of the SuperLega value is well understood not only by those who come to the sports hall, but by the whole city.” Dante Boninfante, head coach of Gioiella Prisma Taranto
“We know how important these last four games are. We have to make up ground, starting with Modena, and take advantage of every opportunity to get points. We are preparing with great determination. These are the decisive games, the ones that can make the difference and the boys are working hard to be ready. We will have to perform with great courage, determination and patience in difficult moments. The team’s morale is high. Playing at home can give us extra help. With the support of our fans, we will be able to express our game at our best and try to achieve a positive result.” Jacopo Cuttini, head coach of Sonepar Padova Padua
