The eighth leg of the 2024-2025 Lega Volley Femminile Serie A1 Tigotà regular season brings critical matches that could drastically change the standings. From fifth to 14th, several teams will have the chance to move up or down depending on their results this weekend.
Bergamo vs Chieri – A Key Showdown
The first key match of the weekend is on Saturday at 18:00 local time (17:00 GMT) between Bergamo (6th) and Chieri (7th). These two teams, closely ranked, could find themselves anywhere between 5th and 9th by the end of Sunday, depending on the outcome.
Vallefoglia Faces Scandicci
On Saturday at 16:00 local time (15:00 GMT), Vallefoglia (5th) will face Savino Del Bene Scandicci (4th). A 3-0 victory might secure their position, but they will not surpass Scandicci due to the set ratio. However, a strong performance will keep them within striking distance of the top four.
