Potenza is ready to play the last 180 fiery minutes of the championship to put salvation on ice

With two days to go in Group C, Potenza’s fate is in their own hands. On the one hand the possibility of saving themselves at the end of the 38th matchday, on the other the danger of the playouts having to be played with the fear of saying goodbye to Serie C if things don’t go the right way. De Giorgio’s team, who replaced Marchionni, has just one point ahead of fifth-last Turris: against Messina and Virtus Francavilla, 180 fiery minutes.

The latest, stinging defeat against Foggia with a clear 3-0, pushed the club to change manager on the fly… again. President Macchia is on his third dismissal of the season, after those of Colombo and Lerda, and is betting everything on De Giorgio (already on the bench for four games during the season) to revive a team that has recovered from three defeats in the last four games. The team’s difficulties throughout the season can be traced back to various aspects: only two victories away from Viviani. Sterility in attack was also a factor: Potenza are, in fact, the third to last attack in Group C with 36 goals to their credit. Only Virtus Francavilla, Sorrento and the already relegated Brindisi did worse.

the question of salvation will be decided on the last day, when Potenza will host Virtus Francavilla now third from last in a thrilling match. First, however, the trip to Messina, with the Giallorossi still able to hope for the playoffs but with an eye on what happens on the other pitches, given that the gap from the red zone of the standings is just four points.
