Umana Reyer Venezia-Bertram Derthona: the precedents and exes of the challenge
Bertram Derthona's journey in the 2023/24 Serie A championship begins from the PalaTaliercio in Venice. On Sunday 1 October, at 16.30 pm, the Bianconeri will face the ambitious and renewed Umana Reyer Venice coached by Neven Spahija.
The match between two teams that have achieved important results in recent years evokes pleasant memories for the Lions, who in the eight official matches played in the two years of Serie A they emerged victorious on five occasions.
In particular, among the matches played at Taliercio, the two matches of the playoff quarter-finals of the 2021/22 season remain unforgettable in the fans' memory (ending with scores of 63-73 and 60-72) which won the team coached by coach Ramondino access to the playoff semi-final in the first championship played in the history of the top flight.
Also at the PalaEnergica Paolo Ferraris, Tavernelli and his teammates were protagonists of great challenges against the Orogranatas: on 19 December 2021, the 77-65 victory pushed the Bianconeri towards qualification for the Final Eight of the Italian Cup, the 77-61 success in 2022/23 certified a brilliant start (five consecutive victories to start the championship) for Bertram.
The result of the eight matches played so far, as mentioned, is a positive one for the Bianconeri, capable of winning five times (three at home, two in Venice). At Taliercio, the two successes accrued during the 2021/22 playoffs, while Umana prevailed in the regular season in both years.
Sunday's match will be special for Marco Spissu, the former player of the match, who wore the Derthona Basket jersey in the 2015/16 season, in Serie A2. In that year, the Bianconeri ended their run in the playoff quarter-finals, with defeat in the fifth and decisive match against Germani Brescia, who were then promoted to Serie A.
Many talented players, topics of interest in a high-level challenge: Bertram Derthona's journey begins in Venice.
