A Double Debut for Scandiano Basketball
Pallacanestro Scandiano’s two senior teams will both make their 2025 debuts on the road this Saturday, January 11th, with tip-off scheduled for 9pm.
Emil Gas, competing in the men’s Serie C, faces a formidable challenge against Virtus Medicina in bologna. Currently sitting in second place, Medicina is a strong contender for promotion and boasts an undefeated home record (6-0), conceding an average of less than 58 points per game. Emil Gas, aiming to maintain their fourth-place standing after a surprising pre-Christmas loss to CVD Casalecchio, will need to deliver a stellar performance to secure a victory on Medicina’s home court, a feat no other team has accomplished this season.
Simultaneously occurring, Aluart, Scandiano’s women’s team, will be in Castello d’Argile, also in Bologna, for their penultimate first-leg match in Serie B. They face Peperoncino Libertas, a team trailing them by just two points in the standings.Cavalcabue’s squad will be looking to bounce back from a recent string of three consecutive losses and capitalize on this opportunity to climb the rankings. Aluart has struggled on the road this season, with a 1-6 record, while Peperoncino Libertas has found success at home, securing two out of their three victories in front of their home crowd.
