The 10th round of the Serie A Basketball Championship promises a weekend of thrilling matchups and high-intensity battles. Highlighting the action is the clash between Emporio Armani Milano and Virtus Segafredo Bologna—two teams that have long dominated the Italian basketball scene but are currently navigating challenging seasons.
Milano, sitting on 10 points, and Bologna, with 14, are chasing league leaders Trento but must find consistency to climb the standings. The showdown, scheduled for Sunday, December 8, at 6:15 PM at the Unipol Forum in Assago, is shaping up to be a fiery contest. Bologna, winless in their last seven road games, is eager to end their year-long away drought, with their last road victory dating back to September 23, 2023. Meanwhile, Milano cannot afford further slip-ups if they hope to salvage their season.
League-leaders Dolomiti Energia Trentino face a tough test against Givova Scafati. While Trento dominates the head-to-head record with three wins in four matchups, the Campania-based side has proven to be a formidable opponent this season. Trento, with 16 points, is determined to cement their top spot and keep the chasing pack at bay. Second-place Trapani, with 14 points, will aim to stay in close contention as they take on Pistoia, a team known for their resilience at home.

Another intriguing matchup pits Trieste against Brescia. The visitors hold the historical edge, winning 14 of their 20 encounters, including a narrow 91-90 victory in Trieste in 2022. However, Trieste is on the rise and will look to capitalize on home-court advantage to secure a crucial win.
Reggio Emilia, on the other hand, takes on bottom-placed Napoli, who are yet to secure a victory this season. The Neapolitans are desperate to reverse their fortunes, while Reggio Emilia sees this as an opportunity to solidify their position in the upper half of the table.
A critical relegation battle looms between Cremona and Varese, sitting second-to-last and third-to-last, respectively. With Varese holding a slight historical advantage (11 wins to 9), this matchup promises to be a fiercely contested affair, with both teams vying for survival.
The clash between Venezia and Sassari is another even matchup, with both teams boasting 10 wins in their head-to-head history. Neither side will want to miss the chance to break into the league’s upper echelons.
The round kicks off with Tortona hosting Treviso, with the visitors arriving on a strong run of three consecutive road victories in their previous encounters with Tortona. This weekend promises drama and decisive results as the Serie A basketball season heats up.
