FC Südtirol doesn't want to let Lumezzane stop them

“We are on a roll at the moment and are in really good shape,” says 23-year-old defender Alessandro Bassoli. “We have gained self-confidence due to the positive results. We shouldn't set any upper limits for ourselves, we should just take it from game to game. We are a good team and have it in our hands to achieve a result as good as last year.”

On the last matchday, the white-reds celebrated a convincing win against Como. In the last seven matches, the Rastelli team has also scored 17 out of a possible 21 points.

Three regular employees are missing

However, the FCS coach has to do without three key players against Lumezzane. Defender Cappelletti, who sustained a muscle injury in the game against Albinoleffe, as well as Dell'Agnello and Pederzoli, who are both suspended, are not there. Peverelli could make his starting debut in defense. Tagliani and captain Kiem or Bassoli will play in central defense. Martin certainly has a regular place. In midfield, Bastone could replace Pederzoli, while Branca, Furlan and Vassallo fight for the remaining two regular places. In attack, new signing Veratti has the best cards as a replacement for Dell'Agnello. Rastelli could also rely on a technically fast attack consisting of Corazza Turchetta and new signing Minesso. The latter impressed the audience at the Drusus Stadium on his debut with a goal and an assist.

Lumezzane with an ascending trend

Lumezzane started the season with the goal of reaching the playoffs. However, the Brescians are currently in eleventh place in the table. The last two games give hope, however, as they were able to achieve two wins in a row in the derby against Feralpisalò (1-0) and in the match against league leaders Virtus Entella. The game against Entella ended 4:5 and Caleb Ekuban, who was still under contract with FCS in the first half of the season, was able to celebrate two goals. After the FCS, Lumezzane has the second best attack in the league with 28 goals in 19 games. Striker Ernesto Torregrossa stands out, leading the top scorers list with twelve goals. Coach Marcolini could use new purchase Coulibaly against FC Südtirol. Belotti returns to central defense. Franchini will certainly be missing and most likely the left full-back from Trento Amedeo Benedetti will also be missing.

This is how they will play:

Lumezzane (4-3-1-2): Bason; Russo, Belotti, Biondi (Coulibaly), Monticone; Gatto, Maita, Carlini; Quaggiotto; Torregrossa, Ekuban. Replacements: Dalle Vedove, Becchetti, Coulibaly (Biondi), Italiano, Sevieri, Galuppini, Salim. Coach: Michele Marcolini

FC Sudtirol (4-3-3): Micai; Peverelli, Tagliani, Kiem (Bassoli), Martin; Furlan, Bastone, Vassallo (Branca); Minesso, Veratti, Corazza. Replacements: Tonozzi, Bassoli (Kiem), Molinelli, Fink, Branca (Vassallo), Ahmedi, Turchetta. Coach: Claudio Rastelli
