Penultimate of the championship for Piacenza, who host Real Calepina at the Garilli on Sunday afternoon (kick-off at 3pm, ticket info). The final sprint begins for the lead in the standings, which is worth direct promotion to Serie C: 180 minutes from the end of the regular season, Caldiero is in front of everyone with 71 points, ahead of the red and whites (70), Desenzano (68) and Pro Palazzolo (67). Four teams in four points: no one can make mistakes anymore, but only Caldiero is the master of his own destiny. In the last two days, the Venetian team will face Virtus Ciserano at home and Villa Valle away; After Real Calepina, Piace will be on stage at Varesina; Desenzano, which comes from a long series of successes, will instead face Arconatese at home to close with the Caravaggio match; finally Pro Palazzolo, who will face Caravaggio at home and Tritium away in order.
Rossini’s team comes from a convincing success against Castellanzese and will find themselves facing a team looking for points to avoid the playouts. There are some training problems for the coach, particularly in midfield, with the certain absence of Gerbaudo (stopped for a match by the sports judge) and the probable absence of Corradi, who is however recovering from the injury and will try to become available again. Iob will also not be in the match, while Marquez is back after a three-match suspension while Recino’s condition needs to be assessed. Garilli’s push will also be needed, which is why the red and white club has launched a promotion aimed at students of all high schools in the province of Piacenza, who will be able to purchase tickets for the separate and straight sectors at the price of 5 euros. “We are ready, excited and convinced – Rossini’s words on the eve -. The other games? We are focused solely and exclusively on the match against Real Calepina, a healthy and technically strong team that has just put Caldiero Terme in difficulty: we will have to be good at putting the game downhill. Piacenza Calcio is compact and we want to give our best to achieve the goal.”
Real Calepina, sixth from last in the standings with 41 points, is fresh from a narrow defeat against league leaders Caldiero. In the first leg the three points went to Piacenza thanks to an early goal by Bassanini.
