Stefano Pillastrini (coach) – “We come from a match, the one in Verona, played at a non-standard level
high enough to beat a team like Tezenis, but the championship continues: Wednesday
we will play a highly anticipated match at home, against one of the strongest teams in the championship and above all in great form because, apart from the defeat against the undefeated Rimini, they have always won by large margins. We know it will be complicated, we are in a period where we are playing against really strong teams and next Sunday it will be the same. We will try to be adequate, learning from the mistakes we made in Verona, and arrive competitive, trying to recover those injured. The ‘Yellow Tide’ is a certainty for us, we know that we can always count on their support, even during the difficulties that an opponent like Udine can create for us.”
Gabriele Miani (player) – “The derby is one of those matches that has something more than the others,
especially for the audience that will surround us. This match is worth more than 2 points for us, not only because it is the derby, but also to maintain the inviolability of PalaGesteco, thus avoiding two defeats
consecutive and trying to respond to a defeat with a victory. A very difficult match awaits us, they will be very excited; but we will be too, to bring home the 2 points which, in a very tough championship like this year’s, weigh a lot”.
Note – Lucio Redivo is in doubt. The gates of the PalaGesteco will open at 7.00 pm, while the ticket offices will remain closed, given that they are sold out. All updates on the match will be available on the official Facebook and Instagram pages of UEB Cividale (@uebcividale).
Media – Live streaming on LNP Pass (paid service), while the deferred broadcast will be visible on Telefriuli
(channel 11 DTT) at 10.30pm on Wednesday evening.

Giorgio Gerosa (assistant coach) – “We are playing against a team that is playing very good basketball and who know each other well. They brought in a player like Marks, who knows the league very well. It will be a very physical match that will be played on details, both in attack and defense. We expect a very warm environment, but I’m sure that the many of our fans present will also give us support during the match.”
Lorenzo Caroti (player) – “We’re going to play a very difficult match. It will be important to set the
our way of playing in Cividale: they are a team in form and at home they have the support of their fans. And then it’s a derby, which is very popular here. We will have to be ready and recover who we need to recover. It will be a battle, it will be a beautiful derby to play, then the rest is up to us.”
Note – Full roster for coach Vertemati: the conditions of Davide Bruttini, who was out due to an ankle injury during the last championship match against Cento, are being assessed day by day.
Media – Live streaming on LNP Pass. Real-time updates are expected on the Facebook page and on the official Instagram profiles (@apu.udine) and X (@apudine) of Apu Old Wild West Udine.
