The third fixture in the Italian Super League between Trentino and Milan will take place this Wednesday at 21:30 GMT.
Pala Trento Arena
The club looked shoddy on their last away trip to Milan, only managing to secure two sets. Their home performance was also unimpressive despite a 3:2 victory. No one could have anticipated this slump from the clear favourite towards the end of the season — it seems that Trentino took their foot off the gas too soon and it greatly backfired.
As for the visitors, they've mostly aimed for the top-5 rather than the top-3, but now there is a golden opportunity to break into the best trio. Milan's temperament is solid. Overall, the team is in decent form, not exactly dazzling, but fairly stable.
Since 2023, the teams have played six matches against each other, with Trentino bagging five victories (3:2, 3:0, 3:1, 3:1, 3:2), and Milan winning once (3:2).
In the first match, the odds for the home team were appealing at about 1.60, but now taking their victory at 1.35 doesn't make much sense due to the considerable flaws in their play. Milan performed well during their away match, so the home court advantage shouldn't be a significant factor here. I believe this match promises to be as close as the last two, therefore I will take the handicap 2 by sets (+1,5) at 1.90.
