LECCE – New news on recoveries arrives from Acaya where Lecce trains ahead of the away match to Cagliari. Ramadani, absent for two days due to a neck abscess, joined the group. The same goes for Pongracic, the central defender has resumed training regularly.
The match with Mister Ranieri’s team could be the mathematical turning point for achieving the objective.
To date, the Giallorossi team has never been in the red zone for the entire championship and with its 36 points it could be virtually safe, but as Gotti has specified several times in the last two days: “Until mathematics gives us certainties we have done nothing”.
But what does it mean, translated into numbers, that Lecce could put the goal in the safe on Sunday? The calculation is arithmetic.
At the moment, the Giallorossi have a 7-point lead from third-last Udinese. There are 4 more days to play and therefore there are 12 more points up for grabs.
If Lecce wins in Cagliari and Udinese loses at home with Napoli, he is mathematically safe. In the event of a victory, in fact, they would move to +10 from the third to last and with three championship days left, there would be no conditions to recover as there would only be 9 points available.
But Lecce would be mathematically safe in the event of a victory in Cagliari, even if Udinese drew. The answer is in the Bianconeri’s calendar who, after Lecce, will have to face Frosinone and Empoli (who will also face each other on this very day).
With a victory in Cagliari, Lecce would reach 39 points. At that point Udinese, Empoli and Frosinone, in the three remaining championship days, should win them all to reach Lecce, but this will not be possible precisely because they will have to face each other and one of the three will have to lose (or two draw); and this would make it impossible to catch up with Lecce.
Here Cagliari:
Meanwhile, Ranieri aims to recover Dossena and Mina, but Wieteska and Hatzidiakos remain on alert. Luvumbo will be available again after serving his suspension against Genoa. A complicated week for the midfield with Makoumbou blocked yesterday by a feverish attack, but today regularly in the group. The coach hopes to place him in the midfield probably next to Deiola. He also tries to recover Oristanio, the return of Viola, Jankto and Pavoletti is more difficult. Nandez is ready to start again from the starting lineup (he took over in Genoa). In attack everything is ok with Shomurodov, Lapadula and Luvumbo fighting for two places. Petagna also available.
In Cagliari the challenge is considered decisive for salvation, in fact the Domus is sold out.
