In the capital of Sannio it will be up to Triestina to try to win the match, having only the victory as a useful result to gain the pass for the quarter-finals, against a Benevento who will be able to count on the support of over 3500 spectators at Vigorito. For the hosts it will not be a match to be underestimated, given that a goal will be enough for the guests to deny the Campania team the passage to the next round. The statistics smile on Benevento, who have only been defeated on three occasions at home this season.

The Samnites will not give up the tried and tested 3-4-3 with an offensive projection, having to change the eleven of the first leg probably only due to the disqualification of Marco Pinato. Simonetti could replace the former Pordenone player. In defense there should be no upheavals, with Berra, Capellini and Viscardi candidates for a starting shirt ahead of Paleari. Gaetano Auteri presented the match in the press room: “The team is doing well overall, now the calendar assigns matches every 3-4 days but we are doing well. The trip was well organised, acceptable considering the distance. Through motivation, obstacles can also be overcome. Managing the lead doesn’t worry me, we have criteria, the things we do best are our habits, playing quickly forward. We will have to be good at interpreting many moments of the match, two or three tactically different matches will be played in the same match. Let’s think about putting our habits and aspects into practice. We won’t manage the match, it would be a huge mistake.”
TRIESTINA HERE
Bordin’s Union will undergo some rotation compared to the first leg match, with the third match in a few days which called some elements of the Friulians to overtime. Ahead of Matosevic, Moretti could take over Struna, who returned to the field after two months in the first leg to line up alongside Malomo and Rizzo. D’Urso could give way to El Azrak in midfield as well as there will be a run-off in the left-handed lane between Petrasso and Pavlev. He could also change the attacking duo with Lescano and Vertainen replacing Redan and Minesso. Mister Roberto Bordin presents Vigorito’s challenge: “After Tuesday’s performance, the team is aware that it can do well tomorrow too. We played an excellent first half and a decent second half, allowing a bit of space but putting in a great performance overall. After this morning’s finishing we still have this afternoon and tomorrow to evaluate some situations and sensations, we have tried something and tomorrow we will see the best eleven we can send onto the field. It’s obvious that if there had been a few more days of rest, it would have been the best way to recover some energy since the match was very expensive, as well as being able to try something more on the pitch.”
