The Dinamo Banco di Sardegna Sassari are looking for consistency after returning to winning ways against Caserta. On Saturday, November 7, 2026 at 8 p.m., the blue-and-whites coached by Luca Vitali will visit UEB Gesteco Cividale at the PalaGesteco in Cividale del Friuli, on the eighth matchday of the 2026/27 Serie A2 Old Wild West.
For those watching the game from Italy, the live stream will be available on LNP Pass, with a subscription. Two teams coming off wins will face each other: Sassari regained confidence at PalaSerradimigni, while the Friuli side come into the game on a two-win streak.
How Dinamo are doing: the response against Caserta
The 95-75 win over Juvecaserta ended the losing streak and brought Banco to 8 points, with four wins and three losses.
Sassari shifted gears after halftime: from 38-35 at the break, they moved to 67-54 by the end of the third quarter, building a lead they then protected in the final period. It was a response to the difficulties seen in the home loss to Rimini and the 79-63 defeat at Ruvo di Puglia.
Before the game against the Campania side, Vitali had called for greater intensity and character. In Cividale, the task will be to reproduce that attitude on the road, without taking Sunday's progress for granted.
Nobili and the team's contribution
Against Caserta, Nicolò Nobili made the most of the opportunity he was given, finishing with 17 points. Alessandro Grande scored 18, Diego Monaldi 15, while Jeff Brooks and Joonas Riismaa each contributed 12.
After the game, Vitali praised Nobili's physicality and the contribution shared across the team. These will also be important factors in the trip to Friuli: Banco will need a presence near the basket, balance and shared offensive options.
Cividale: two wins to get back on track
The team coached by Stefano Pillastrini have 6 points, from three wins and four losses. After three consecutive defeats, they beat Urania Milano 78-60 and then won 74-64 at Cento on Friday, October 30.
At the Baltur Arena, the Friuli side took the lead in the second quarter and extended it after halftime. Lucio Redivo, who scored 19 points, was their main offensive threat, supported by 13 from Filippo Baldi Rossi and 12 from Francesco Ferrari.
Controlling the pace and working under the boards will be two key factors for Sassari against an opponent that has regained confidence.
Injuries: Nze to be assessed, Riismaa has returned
Bryce Nze was missing against Caserta. Vitali explained that the nature of the injury will need to be assessed, so his availability for Cividale remains unconfirmed. Riismaa, meanwhile, returned to the court and made a solid contribution.
For Gesteco, Seneca Knight was still absent for the latest game in Cento. The final availability status for both teams will need to be updated based on announcements on the eve of the game.
