Olimpia wants the third star, the Scudetto number 30. Dinamo wants to make life hard for their rival and prevent the semi-final series from ending 3-0 like last year.
Match number 58 between the two most successful clubs in Italy in recent years bears witness to an endless duel that saw Sassari and Milan face off once in the quarter-finals of the championship and no less than four (with this one) in the semi-finals of the championship (two victories each) , plus a Supercoppa final (in 2015, Banco won) and duels for the Italian Cup with one success each in the final (Dinamo in 2015, Olimpia in 2017).
The performance of the last few seasons shows that the gap between the two teams has increased . In the championship two victories for the team from Messina which, however, after being maramalded at the PalaSerradimigni 92-63 , definitely struggled in the second leg to prevail 79-67 over a decidedly improved Banco. That's why it's not pretentious to think of committing the favorite and maybe - why not? - of snatching at least one race from her as Pesaro managed to do . If then after four years of abstinence, the biancoblù manage to place a coup at the Assago Forum, then the series would become less obvious.
