On Sunday there will be a semi-final match of the Italian Super League between Trentino and Monza.
They are undoubtedly the top slot of the Italian Championship, but recently their focus has been more shifted towards the Champions League than their division. They continue to be in splendid form, but there are some warning bells. In the first two matches, Trentino defeated Monza hands down (3:0, 3:1), and everyone thought it would be an easy 3:0 sweep for the favourite. However, Monza managed to reverse the course of the confrontation and on character scraped two games (3:2, 3:1). This season Trentino boasts nineteen victories with only two losses.
The team currently occupies the fifth place in the tournament table. In the previous stage, they ousted Kucine-Lube 3:2 in matches (another tournament favourite), so Monza truly can surprise any opponent. The club's tournament account holds thirteen victories and nine defeats over twenty-two matches.
In 2024, the teams played six matches together, with Trentino winning three (3:1, 3:0, 3:0) and Monza also claiming three victories (3:1, 3:2, 3:2).
After trailing 0:2 in matches, no one had faith in them, but they believed in themselves. Monza turned around to level 2:2 and in the deciding game should give their utmost. On the other hand, it’s high time for Trentino to come together and show their real game. I think it's safe to take the handicap 2 (+2) on sets at 1.6, too good an odd for such an outcome.
