Jomi Salerno cruise past Kazagrande Padana in Serie A opener
Jomi Salerno made a statement of intent on the opening weekend of the Serie A women's handball season, running riot against Kazagrande Padana with a 37:18 victory. The away side held every card from the first whistle, converting their dominance into a comfortable margin that leaves them sitting second in the table after one game. Kazagrande, meanwhile, drop to fourth after their winning start against Mezzocorona came to an end.
By then, the pattern was clear. Jomi Salerno have been in fine form, beating Ferrara 35:14 in their most recent outing, while Kazagrande had won 28:20 against Mezzocorona. To be fair, both sides came in with momentum, but the gap in quality showed through on this occasion. The hosts never really got under way, and the result felt inevitable from mid-game onwards.
Both teams enter the season with two points after opening victories, but the difference in performance here tells its own story. Kazagrande's previous encounters with Jomi Salerno—28:18 and 38:21—suggest this wasn't an isolated result. And here's the thing: the old head settled them down, but the execution was clinical.
Our prediction of a Jomi Salerno win, given 62% confidence, has come to pass. The visitors didn't just edge it—they ran away with it. That kind of margin doesn't happen without control, and Jomi showed they can hold every card when it matters.
After this result, Jomi Salerno top the table on goal difference, Kazagrande sit fourth. The season is young, but the message has been sent.
