Crucial match for Bertram against the black beast Treviso. Coach De Raffaele's words
There is no more margin for error, or almost, for Bertram Derthona Tortona. The Easter Saturday match at the PalaVerde against the home team Nutribullet Treviso, scheduled for 19:15 for the 27th matchday of the Serie A Unipol, must be won successfully to give themselves some chance of qualifying for the playoffs. With 4 rounds to go in the regular season and 2 points behind and in a direct clash with eighth place in the standings occupied by Venice, who are playing this round on the field of league leaders Trapani, the black and white team will probably need to take a clean sweep from here to the end and hope for more than a few defeats by those ahead of them.
TABOOS TO BREAK Coming off three consecutive defeats in the league and elimination in the Champions League quarterfinals against Tenerife, Weems and his teammates' pursuit of the post-season will resume against an opponent who is experiencing a situation of relative calm in the standings with their eleventh place at 18 points, 10 points behind Bertram's ninth place. The results have not rewarded them for several weeks with three defeats in the last three outings (the last in Trapani by 95-82) and seven in the last eight, but the quintet coached by Frank Vitucci still lacks two points to reach mathematical salvation. Derthona does not have a good feeling with the Venetians at the Serie A level, in the league only one joy in seven clashes. The last three matches have all gone to Treviso, including the first leg in Casale Monferrato, the 95-90 obtained at the beginning of December in the tenth matchday by the team of former players Mascolo and Macura, resisting Vital's 22 points and 8 assists (his seasonal record) and Kamagate's 18+10 rebounds and 4 blocks.
WHERE TO SEE IT ON TV The race will be broadcast live on DAZN and Eurosport 2.
STATEMENTS “A tough match awaits us in Treviso. We will have to recruit energy from all the players given the close matches and the demanding away games of this period and the conditions of the players in the roster”, says the coach Walter De Raffaele. “We come from a beautiful European journey in the Champions League, where we grew by giving the club a historic access to the quarter-finals against a great team like Tenerife, against whom we often played on equal terms, especially in game 1”.
