Guerri Napoli faces Pallacanestro Varese tomorrow in the early match of the fourteenth and penultimate round of the first half of the Serie A season. The match will be played at the Itelyum Arena in Varese, starting at 6:15 PM.
After the important win in the last round against Acqua San Bernardo Cantù, Coach Alessandro Magro's team faces a crucial match in their bid to qualify for the Coppa Italia Final Eight. Varese, fresh from two consecutive wins, sits ninth in the standings, just two points behind the Azzurri, who are in the sixth-place group with 12 points, with Trapani and Trieste. Guerri Napoli center Guglielmo Caruso is the only former player in the match, having played for Varese from 2021 to 2023. Attard, Marziali, and Lucotti will referee the match.
Coach Alessandro Magro:
"We're on the eve of an important match, on a difficult court as Varese. It's the first game that could truly decide our primary goal of the start of this season, since the project of this new club began. A win would give us a significant boost towards the Final Eight of the Coppa Italia. We're facing a team that's confident, with three wins in four games after the break, losing only at Brescia. We have enormous respect for them, and we know we'll have to play a game of great concentration and focus. Varese plays a unique style of basketball in our league, and they've been doing so for years, at a very high pace. Every player can be aggressive and try to attack. They've added important players over the course of the year. We'll have to be good and disciplined on offense. It will be an important test to understand our growth path. I'm confident we can play a good away game. Winning away from home in the Italian Championship is never easy."
