Virtus Bologna Faces Maxima Roma at PalaDozza Following EuroLeague Win

Virtus Costa Bologna returns to LBA action on Sunday, October 4, hosting Maxima Roma at the PalaDozza with tip-off set for 18:15 local time (UTC+2). Fresh off an intense EuroLeague victory against Olympiacos, the Bianconeri face a quick turnaround as they meet the capital city side formed from the former Brescia club. The fixture will be officiated by referees Michele Rossi, Denny Borgioni, and Alessandro Perciavalle.

Roster Rotations and Tactical Focus on Perimeter Defense

Virtus head coach Joan Peñarroya Mumbrù must balance an overseas rotation that included eight foreign players during recent test matches against a domestic Italian group seeking consistent minutes. On the opposing side, Maxima Roma arrives under the direction of coach Cotelli, aiming to stabilize their performances after alternating a heavy domestic opening defeat against Napoli with a 34-point Eurocup blowout victory over Cluj-Napoca. Parente highlighted that Maxima poses a distinct threat through its backcourt talent and perimeter shooting, noting that five or six opposing players frequently look to score from beyond the arc rather than inside.

Fans Can Buy Tickets or Watch via Broadcast

Supporters attending Sunday’s game can purchase physical tickets at the PalaDozza ticket office located near the Via Graziano entrance starting at 16:45 local time, or online through Vivaticket channels. For fans following from home, live television coverage is available on LBA TV and Sky Sport Basket (channel 205), alongside radio broadcasts on Nettuno Bologna Uno, with streaming options provided by NOW.
