The most optimistic bookmakers point out that Sassari has half the chances compared to the Italian champions of getting through. All the others see Banco landing in the final with odds ranging from 4 to 5. Tomorrow evening at 18 the series begins which for the fifth time pits Olimpia and Dinamo in the semifinal. Game two will also be played at the Forum, but starting at 9pm.

The third match is scheduled for Thursday at the palaSerradimigni starting at 9 pm. Bucchi's biancoblù aim to reach at least the fourth match, which will be played again in Sassari.

The objective of Devecchi and his companions is to win once away, to then have the possibility of conquering the final with two games in a PalaSerradimigni which remained untouched after the first round.

If the fifth game is needed (whoever wins three passes) Milan will again have the home factor on its side.

Milan has so far won 29 championships and aims for the third star, Sassari only one, but has managed to conquer the Forum 10 times in 23 playoff matches.
