It’s starting to get serious. Classic incipit when you don’t know how to open. This time, however, everything is there given that within 24 hours the third series will live (in order), second round of the playoffs of the Group (tomorrow), first leg of the playoffs and second challenge of Super Cup (Sunday). Promotion play-offs again with a draw in the 90th minute to the benefit of the home teams. The quarters are in play Triestina (against Giana, in the photo the regular season match), Perugia And Casertana (with the Audace). The most intriguing intersection is that of “Renato Curi” between Griffin and Rimini who in the first round violated the pitch of another Umbrian team, Gubbio. Sunday morning at 9.30 live on Sky Sports The draw for the National Phase.
Fair level also in the first leg playoffs with Fiorenzuola – Novara (Piedmontese clinging to professionalism after the change of ownership mid-season) and Virtus Francavilla – Monopoli catching the attention. Finally, always on Sunday Mantua closes the year atRomeo Menti” against Juve Stabia in the second round of the Super Cup.
On the sidelines, very brief with the reconfirmation of Franzini on the Lumezzane bench, and the (whispered) possible farewell to the Pro Vercelli of DS Box. Two movements following the recent elimination of the respective clubs from the playoffs.
