BRINDISI, Italy – Pallacanestro Molfetta travels to Brindisi today, Saturday, March 21, 2026, for a pivotal Serie C interregionale matchup against Assi Brindisi. Coming off two consecutive losses, the team aims to solidify its position in the league standings and secure a spot in the postseason. The game, scheduled for 6:00 PM local time (18:00 CET), takes place at the Palazzetto Melfi in Brindisi.
The stakes are high for Molfetta, currently seventh in the league with 20 points, tied with Nuova Matteotti Corato. With only three regular season games remaining – including a bye week – a win against Assi Brindisi is crucial for confirming their place in the league for another season and potentially positioning themselves for a playoff run. The team will conclude the regular season at home against Francavilla.
Despite a recent defeat against league leaders Nardò, coach Guido Sciangalepore remains optimistic about his team’s performance. “The team has demonstrated its ability to compete, to fight, and to challenge one of the top teams in the league,” Sciangalepore said. “We faced some roster difficulties, but we proved People can be competitive against the best, and we will continue to do so in Brindisi.”
Molfetta’s pursuit of a postseason berth is gaining momentum, and this road game represents a significant opportunity to gain ground. Even though, Assi Brindisi, currently fifth in the standings with a two-point advantage over Molfetta, will present a formidable challenge. Coach Laghezza’s team boasts a strong offensive lineup, led by playmaker Maffei (averaging 17.7 points per game), center Brunetti (14 points per game), and guard Datuowei (13.5 points per game).
Sciangalepore emphasized the importance of this game as a final step towards securing their league standing. “We just need one more step, and then it will be salvation,” he stated. “We need to continue working hard and staying focused on our objective.”
The team is aware of the challenge that awaits them in Brindisi. The Palazzetto Melfi is known to be a difficult venue for visiting teams, and Assi Brindisi will be eager to defend their home court. Molfetta will need a strong performance from all its players to overcome this obstacle and secure a vital victory.
This game isn’t just about securing a place in the league; it’s also about positioning themselves for a potential playoff run. The two points on offer are crucial for Molfetta’s ambitions, and the team is determined to leave everything on the court in pursuit of those points.
Fans can follow the game live from Brindisi, with updates expected throughout the evening. The outcome of this match will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the Serie C interregionale standings and the playoff picture.
