POWER, PERMANENCE IN C ALL IN 90′

All in 90′. This evening, kick-off at 6.30pm, Mr. Potenza will be playing in their own game. Pietro De Giorgio is called to close the discussion about staying in Serie C. With a victory or a draw. In the unfortunate event of a defeat against Virtus Francavilla, the red and blue will have to prepare to face the relegation battle next week. Against which team it is not easy to know. We need to wait for the final results of the day. And for those who believed that everything seemed to have been resolved with the draw in Messina, the snapshot of the matchday shows the opposite. The good intentions of the club which, at the cost of great economic sacrifices, had planned to bring the team into the top places of the play-offs went to waste and after having played in ups and downs with four changes of coaches, today Potenza is Despite himself, he finds the discussion of salvation making his veins tremble on the last day. To tell the truth, the match at the “San Filippo” in Messina, where Potenza came out with a good draw, gave excellent indications to the coach and the fans. The team is recovering, is compact and will do everything to save a disastrous season. First of all, the coach will do it, that Pietro De Giorgio called for the third time on the bench of the “prancing lion” to put things right. It seems that the team runs much better with him. And hopefully they can perform even better against a Virtus Francavilla who are 8 points less than the rossoblùs in the standings and what’s more with their minds already on the direct clash against Monopoli. Despite everything, you shouldn’t let your guard down. The last championship matches and Brindisi in the lead have taught that teams already with one or both feet in Serie D continue to play and fight until their last breath. Rightly so – we add – otherwise the authentic value of the competition would be lost. Mr. knows this well. De Giorgio who will have to field the best eleven both physically and mentally. And given the deployment against Messina, we hypothesize that the Calabrian coach can deploy: Alastra between the posts, a three-man defense with Armini, Sbraga and Maddaloni, defensive fifths Hadziosmanovic and Burgio. Midfield with Saporiti in the playmaker role flanked by Candellori and Castorani. Volpe -Caturano attack pair.

HERE FRANCAVILLA FONTANA

Mathematics has not already condemned them to relegation. If everything doesn’t go right in this evening’s match at the “Viviani” against Potenza, Virtus Francavilla must at least draw regardless of what Monterosi does against Foggia to access the playouts; in the event of a defeat in Potenza, the Apulians would go to play in the play-offs. In the event of a simultaneous draw or defeat by Monterosi, salvation would be played in the Apulian derby against Monopoli. The Imperials will do everything to avoid unpleasant surprises and ward off the specter of falling to Serie D, a category abandoned in the name of professionalism in 2016. The home draw obtained last Sunday against league leaders Juve Stabia, who arrived in Puglia already certain of promotion to Serie B allowed Alberto Villa’s team to keep the torch burning. Potenza and Virtus Francavilla will be a challenge between identical sides (3-5-2) but with very different performances. The Biancazzurri have a worse performance in terms of goals scored, with 30 goals scored against the hosts’ 38. In terms of goals against, however, more or less both Potenza and Francavilla have comparable but high numbers. Also for the Imperials we hypothesize that the Villa coach can field the identical formation seen on Sunday against league leaders Juve Stabia: Branduani between the posts, three-man defense with captain Monteagudo, Dutu and Gasbarro, Biondi and Di Marco on the wings, three-man midfield with Izzillo, the former red-blue Laaribi and Macca. Artistic and Neglia attack pair. Last piece of information, the referee direction is entrusted to a Tuscan whistleblower. It will be Simone Galipò, from the Florence section assisted by Matteo Pressato from Latina and Alessandro Antonio Boggiani from Monza, the fourth official will be Raffaele Gallo from Castellammare di Stabia.
