Here we are at the penultimate day of the regular season of group E of series D, a day that will be played in full at 3.00 pm on Sunday 28 April 2024; Grosseto (60) will take the field at the Zecchini against Orvietana (33), a team still committed to avoiding the play outs and, for this very reason, a very difficult match. Certain. the Maremma team is still busy looking for direct promotion (an almost impossible mission, but until mathematics tells us otherwise it is still right to believe in it), or in any case a place in the play offs that can give us some advantage over the others (for example the advantage of home advantage in the single semi-final and final matches, and the advantage of being ahead (therefore in a better position) in the event of a draw at the end of extra time. Perhaps it is slightly premature to make these statements, but it is also true that if if the combination of the results of the 33rd matchday were unfavorable to us, we could have these discussions as early as Sunday evening. The important thing, however, is to take the field in this last home match of the regular season, giving our all and trying to lead to results. home the three points, after which the problems will all be with the other teams.
The last home match of Follonica Gavorrano (61) will be against Real Forte Querceta (27), a team now certain of the play outs and almost completely unable to recover positions to gain those advantages that can be acquired in the post season; in short, let’s hope they don’t save themselves in view of the play outs.
Leaders Pianese (64) will face Seravezza Pozzi (54) away, a team that can still aspire to a place in the play off grid and is therefore encouraged to try all the way.
As is logical at the end of the championship, those who don’t fight for a post season already tend to plan for the next season and make the most of some young players who are in the squad; this could alter some results and favor/disfavor some team over another, it has always happened and probably always will happen and it will be very difficult to change this now consolidated system; it could be the case, for example, of Figline (48) – Mobilieri Ponsacco (19), where the two teams no longer have anything to ask for from this championship, but, at least in relation to this match, the two teams can do what they they want, without influencing their results in any way, the battles for ranking objectives; something more could be said, however, Livorno (56) – Sporting Trestina (40) as the Labronici are at least looking for the best position in the play offs, while the guests are not yet sure of avoiding the play outs; the match scheduled between Cenaia (16) and Ghiviborgo (47) with positions now consolidated and in no case changeable in a significant way is absolutely irrelevant for the rankings.
We continue with Sangiovannese (39) – Poggibonsi (49), a match that can only mean something for the team from Val d’Arno, still committed to avoiding the play outs; in TAU Altopascio (56) – San Donato Tavarnelle (38), the home team will be committed to winning to consolidate their position in the play offs, but the guests will have the same aim given that they are busy avoiding the play outs at the moment only one point apart.
The program of the 33rd day ends with the Sansepolcro (28) – Aquila Montevarchi (37) match which could also be a match that will be repeated when the play outs are played. (AS)
