PREMATCH
° – it is the first direct comparison between the two teams in Arezzo. The only precedent is that of the first leg, which was played in Vercelli behind closed doors due to the unavailability of the Sivori stadium in Sestri Levante. The match ended 0-0
° – the Ligurians have already achieved mathematical salvation thanks to the victory over Vis Pesaro last week. Arezzo is sure of playing in the playoffs (starting on May 4th) but tonight’s results will be decisive in drawing up the pairing grid
° – tonight’s is the 27th different defensive alignment used by the Indians in 38 championship days. First time for the Renzi-Risaliti-Polvani-Coccia quartet. Sixth bench in a row for Chiosa
