On Thursday the Italian Super League semi-final will take place between Monza and Trentino.
The hosts currently occupy the fifth position in the league table and are in pretty good shape. In their previous match, they beat Trentino 3:2, yet it was a very close game. Earlier, they lost to the same opponent (3:1, 3:0). They managed to beat Cucine Lube 3:1, but the scenario was similar to that of Trentino. This season, the team has thirteen victories against nine defeats.
The undoubted favourite of the tournament, which seems to have been flagging recently. Apparently, the team's focus leans more toward the Champions League than the regular championship. Yes, they lost to Monza in their last match, but I don't think it will impact the upcoming clash. With twenty-two games played, the club has nineteen victories and just three defeats.
In 2024, the teams faced each other five times. Trentino has three victories (3:1, 3:0, 3:0), while Monza has two (3:2, 3:2).
We are now in the playoffs and the guests certainly do not want to be eliminated. I believe that in this match they will rise to the occasion and impose their game. While Monza did look decent in the last match, their game has plenty of gaps. I would certainly play a handicap2 (-1,5) at sets (-1.5) at 1.77 here.
