Conegliano's clean first contact and spread of scorers meet a UYBA side that showed it can sustain attacks against Novara. The central contest is whether UYBA's reception lets Seki find Grozer and Wada often enough against Conegliano's block and floor defense. Cuneo offered little sustained hitting in Conegliano's opener, so that quick match is an incomplete guide to how long this one lasts.
Conegliano swept Cuneo with 49 attack kills and only four attack errors, while Cuneo managed 27 kills. UYBA's five-set match with Novara had a different shape: Grozer led with 26 points, Wada added 14, and UYBA took two sets despite a shaky passing platform.
De Gennaro and Conegliano's middle block will test Seki's distribution, while Pelloni's reception is central to UYBA getting clean swings for Grozer and Wada. Grozer's serve and Battista's support helped UYBA turn close stretches against Novara; Conegliano can answer through several hitters rather than relying on one attacker.
Conegliano has its full squad available. Wołosz and Haak played mainly in a double switch against Cuneo, and Gabi did not enter, leaving Santarelli with established options beyond that opening lineup. Parra watched UYBA's opener from the stands, while the Seki-Wada and Battista-Grozer group carried the attack.
Conegliano should press early through its first-ball attack, with UYBA working to keep Seki in system and make the sets competitive. UYBA's scoring against Novara came from several players, and its attack has a stronger route to sustained points than Cuneo showed. That's why I'm siding with more combined points in Conegliano against UYBA.
