Michele Mignani confirms the same game system used with Südtirol (although with a possible variable). The coach chooses Graves in defense in place of the suspended Nedelcearu, Ceccaroni returns to the centre-left. In midfield there is Segre while in attack there is space for Insigne behind Soleri and captain Brunori.
