Grosseto – For the summit everything was defined last day; Pianese (67) has earned the right to play in the next Serie C championship a day early and the match on Sunday at 3.00 pm against TAU Altopascio (57) only takes on the meaning of the final catwalk, the best way to celebrate the promotion; on the contrary, for the guests, there is a need for the three points not so much to consolidate participation in the play offs, which now seems to be a done deal, but rather to try to gain a better position which could allow the Pistoia team a better position all over inside the grill.
Having said the direct promotion, let’s move on to analyze the play offs and see how Grosseto (63) achieved second position just last Sunday, which gives you the right to play any two play off matches at home; to do this, however, they will have to try to win away against L’Aquila Montevarchi (40), a team that is now safe, but which could throw unexpected quality and strength onto the field to celebrate this achievement in front of their fans. It is clear that the red and white team with a victory would consolidate second place, without having to wait for the other results and hope that they are positive for them, even if then, winning the play offs does not give you any of those advantages that you could expect from the play a post season.
The only threat to second place is represented by Follonica Gavorrano (62) who will play on the Ghiviborgo pitch (50), one of the best teams in the category, even if the unknown remains as to how they will reach the final match.
The rest of the program now has little to say: Mobilieri Ponsacco (20) – Cenaia (16) will be a preview of the next championship of excellence (assuming they fall in the same group) given that both have already been relegated for some time now; despite appearances, Orvietana (35) – Livorno (59) is also a match that will no longer mean anything given that the Umbrians have consolidated their position within the play-out grid, while the Labronici will not be able to conquer third position (at a disadvantage with Follonica Gavorrano in direct clashes), but could, in case of defeat, be overtaken by TAU Altopascio if the latter obtained the three points. Speaking of the play outs, we must also consider that if the gap between the 13th and 16th places exceeds 8 points, the play out will not take place and the relegation of the 16th team will be sanctioned; same thing between the 14th and the 15th. Currently the situation sees the play out which will not take place between the 13th and 16th, we still don’t know who it will be, while between the 14th and 15th the last 90 minutes will be decisive to determine whether or not the play out will be disputed. As for Poggibonsi (49) – Figline (49), it will be a match that will serve to establish the supremacy of one over the opponent.
We continue with Real Forte Querceta (28) – Seravezza Pozzi (54), a match that would only be useful for the home team to try to grab the play outs; again San Donato Tavarnelle (39) – Sansepolcro (28) with the home team now safe (precisely because of what was said above about the functioning of the play outs), while Sansepolcro is looking for the play outs to save a not exactly exciting season. It should be noted that if Real Forte Querceta and Sansepolcro were to be tied and both less than 8 points behind Orvietana, to determine the Umbrian’s opponent a play-off would have to be held which, in the event of a tie after extra time, would see the team prevail. the best ranked team in terms of head-to-head matches, goal difference in head-to-head matches and overall goal difference.
To close this presentation of the last day of the regular season we have Sporting Club Trestina (40) – Sangiovannese (42), a match that can neither add nor take away anything from the final championship standings. Well, this year too the championship has come to an end, now we will look back for the play offs, trusting that our beloved Grifone can give us the satisfaction that all of us fans expect. (AS)
