The verdicts in Group A of Serie C largely depend on the Lombard derbies. Both in the playoff zone and in the playout zone, where Pro Sesto risks immediate relegation at the end of the next ninety minutes. They will all play at the same time, next Sunday at 4.30pm. The Biancocelesti must win at home against Pro Patria, who are safe and can still aspire to the promotion play-offs. At the same time, Pergolettese must not beat Giana Erminio, seventh and with the possibility of overtaking Legnago in sixth place. Mussa’s boys would have been enough to beat Albinoleffe last weekend to close the matter, but the 1-1 final left everything open: if the ten points advantage from Pro Sesto were to become seven or eight then they would go to the playouts , otherwise in Sesto San Giovanni they would be forced to start again from the Amateurs. “We accept the verdict of the pitch, even if we deserved to win – declared coach Giovanni Mussa after the latest result – We have a chronic absence of strikers who, if present, would probably have given us success. And we still have the ball in our hands. We’ll go and play to the death and hope that the tension won’t block us further. We always said with the boys that we would be saved on the last day and so it will be, I’m sure we’ll be able to bring home the result.”
As mentioned, the one who has to hope that Pergo does not take home the three points is Pro Sesto, fresh from a heavy 3-0 against Atalanta Under 23 after a period of good results, which to date have been insufficient to reach the play-outs despite the good work done by coach Angellotti, who restored play and belief to a team that was very close to the abyss. “Against Atalanta we deservedly lost, I congratulate them. The failures of Novara and Pergolettese give us another chance to reach the playouts, we must prepare well for the match against Pro Patria, win and wait for positive news from the others fields. We must do our part first. The attachment of the fans in this situation must be an extra incentive for us to win the three points”, reiterated the Biancocelesti coach.
In the last round, the third-last and fourth-last of group A, Novara and Fiorenzuola, will also face each other, who have a strong possibility of finding themselves in the playout unless a particular combination of results occurs. The Piedmontese should win and hope that Pergolettese and Pro Sesto don’t do the same: in this way they would be safe without even passing through the play-offs.
