The Dinamo Banco di Sardegna Sassari are looking for an immediate response after their defeat to Rimini. On Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 6 p.m., Luca Vitali’s blue-and-whites will visit Crifo Wines Ruvo di Puglia at the PalaColombo, in the sixth round of the 2026/27 Serie A2 Old Wild West.

For those following the game from Italy, live streaming will be available on LNP Pass, with a subscription. The two teams will meet looking to respond after the midweek round: Sassari lost at home to Rimini, while Ruvo fell on the road to Mestre.

How Dinamo are shaping up: bouncing back after Rimini

The 67-84 loss to Rimini at the PalaSerradimigni ended a two-game winning streak, with victories over Mestre and an 80-70 win over Sella Cento, decided by Alessandro Grande in the closing possessions. Banco head to Puglia with 6 points, having recorded three wins and two losses in the first five rounds.

Nze’s 16 points, Flood’s 15 and Aromando’s 12 were not enough against Rimini. The second quarter, which they lost 16-28, proved decisive: the visitors were already leading 50-36 at halftime.

Vitali identified defensive consistency as one area to improve, especially when the offense cannot find the basket. However, the coach is drawing on his faith in the group and calling for more energy and better decisions on offense. Captain Jeff Brooks also said the road game offered a chance to respond.

Ruvo: one win, but an opponent to take seriously

The team coached by Stefano Rajola have 2 points, with one win and four losses. On Wednesday, they lost 93-71 to Gemini Mestre, suffering a second consecutive defeat after their loss to Pesaro.

Their only win came on the road, with a 96-88 victory over Urania Milano. At the PalaColombo, however, Ruvo have lost to Cividale and Pesaro, so they will be looking for their first home win against Sassari.

Rajola is asking his team to string together longer stretches of high-intensity play and maintain greater solidity for all 40 minutes. For Banco, limiting their lapses will be essential against an opponent determined to make the most of its home crowd.

Absences, doubts and game officials

For Dinamo, Joonas Riismaa is still a doubt, having also missed the game against Rimini. Kaza Kajami-Keane remains unavailable as he continues his rehabilitation program under the club medical staff.

For Ruvo, the notes issued ahead of the game report no players unavailable.

The officiating crew for the game will be Grappasonno, Yang Yao and Agnese.
