This match will not change the fate of Vis, however forced into the playout with Recanatese after the disconcerting defeat at home to Sestri. Tomorrow’s match against Juventus NG (8pm), the last of the regular season, however, has something up for grabs: position. Beating the Bianconeri could mean finishing ahead of Leopardi (if they don’t win in Chiavari) and therefore enjoying the advantages of the case: the return match at home and the possibility of saving themselves even in the event of an arithmetic draw in the double header. Statistically, whoever comes first in the standings wins in 70 percent of cases: since the playouts were established (’93-94), in group B of the C major 55 playout matches have been played and 38 times the teams have won better placed teams. It also happened to Vis in their only previous match (2003-04 C1), when they beat Paterno in the double header with a win and a draw.
The match against Juve – the first time ever at Benelli – can also provide answers of another kind. The most important is on the condition of the red and whites and the ability to hold the field: because it is one thing to express oneself as against Perugia, another to demonstrate the gaps in Vercelli. It’s one thing to get to the playouts on the back of a positive result, it’s another to carry the waste of this season finale with you. Mister Stellone will have to do without the suspended Mattioli and Peixoto, as well as the injured Tonucci who perhaps we will see again for the play-offs. It is therefore mandatory to change the midfield players: Rossetti’s return from suspension offers a solution, for the rest there is no shortage of solutions on the right, from Ceccacci to Da Pozzo. Unless the module is also changed, switching to a four-man defence. In the meantime, Joel Obi has joined the first team, but he will hardly be risked against the Bianconeri.
Brambilla’s Juve in turn has to give up two important players: striker Guerra (15 goals) is disqualified (he also missed the first leg, 1-1), the midfielder Turicchia suffered a muscle injury in the victorious match against Stop. Cerri (or Anghelé) should play in place of the first, Comenencia of the second. Youth. Sandreani’s Primavera team leaves today at 10am to face the return match of the first round of the playoffs at Juve Stabia. The game will be played tomorrow at 2.30pm at the Menti stadium in Castellammare: after a 2-2 draw in the first leg, the red and whites only need a victory to continue their journey. Also tomorrow, at the Benelli Supplementary double match Vis-Latina: U15 at 1pm, U17 at 3pm.
City Club project. The project wanted by Vis Pesaro and Lega Pro will be presented next Tuesday in the city council hall, which focuses on dialogue with municipalities and clubs to promote the expansion of football realities at a local level.
