Italy: predictions respected in advances of Round 9 – 3 points for Civitanova and Piacenza

After the advance in which Sir Susa Vim Perugia defeated Pallavolo Padova 3-0, played on November 22 because Perugia are playing Club World Championship in India (semifinal against Turkish powerhouse is scheduled tomorrow), Round 9 of 2023/24 Superlega CredemBanca continued today with other two games.
Predictions respected in both duels, as Cucine Lube Civitanova and Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza earned three points in their respective games.
Last season runners-up Civitanova won in four sets on the field of Cisterna Volley (14:25, 21:25, 25:22, 19:25) without major problems, despite the rivals tried to reopen the game by winning third set, led by Jordi Ramon and Theo Faure, who scored 15 and 18 points respectively, but they weren’t enough. Among the winners 4 players in double digit, with Ivan Zaytsev and Aleksandar Nikolov with 16 points each, followed by Adis Lagumdzija and Barthlemy Chinenyeze with 14 and 12, respectively, while setter Luciano De Cecco was named MVP of the match.
Four sets win on the road also for Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza, on the field of still winless Gioiella Prisma Taranto – 1-3 (25:19, 20:25, 18:25, 16:25).
Despite the absence of Leal, Piacenza also celebrated the return of opposite Yuri Romanò after an absence lasted one month.
He closed the game with 15 points, all in attack.
Lucarelli was the top scorer with 19 points including 2 aces, including the one that closed the game, while Lanza scored 17 points for Taranto, and Russell added 15.
