Serie B, Palermo-Parma and Reggiana-Cosenza fire advances

The thirty-fourth matchday in Serie B opens tonight (Friday 19 April). League leaders Parma arrive in Palermo and want to extend their lead on Como by 5 points. In the last 5 matches the ducali have achieved 3 victories, a draw and a defeat. In the first leg the rosanero came close to winning at the Tardini, but Parma then grabbed the final 3-3 with just a few moments to go. At the Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore there is Reggiana-Cosenza. Alessandro Nesta would like a stadium as a friend, given the only 2 victories against Venezia and Catanzaro in the face of many points lost with 4 draws and 2 defeats in the last 6 home games. The victory at home has been missing since December 26th, when the success against Catanzaro had excited the atmosphere. Now there is a very delicate challenge for both, with William Viali, recalled to the bench after the dismissal of Fabio Caserta, aiming for his first victory to move up the rankings after 8 rounds without success. The teams faced each other several times in the 90s in Serie B, including the historic 7-4 for the Granata on 30 December 1990 at Mirabello, with 22 previous matches (10 victories for Reggiana, 5 for Cosenza and 7 draws). On this occasion, a new audio description service will be activated for blind or visually impaired spectators: an important initiative by the Emilian club which is committed to making its activities increasingly accessible to its fans.

Two debuts on the bench

The rest of the program is scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday 20 April. Two new coaches show up: Pierpaolo Bisoli leads Modena in the away match to Ascoli for a match where losing is forbidden, while Federico Giampaolo, Marco’s brother, has been promoted to Bari from the Primavera and receives a visit from Pisa. Lombard derby in Piacenza with FeralpiSalò-Como with opposite destinies. A Ternana goes to Brescia galvanized by the success with time almost up on the Cremonese pitch: Roberto Breda loves certain feats, recalling the blitz in Palermo before Cremona. Liguria watches Spezia-Sampdoria with polar opposite moods due to the alarming ranking of the La Spezia players. Ligurian at the Picco, with Spezia receiving Samp, while Lecco receiving Venezia. Catanzaro faces Ceravolo with the desire to get revenge on Cremonese, while Sudtirol, fresh from the big coup at Marassi, hosts Cittadella.
