A real yardstick awaits FC Südtirol

Even two days after the game in the lagoon city, FC Südtirol is still living off its first win of the season. Coach Rastelli explained on Friday: “The victory showed that we not only have strong character, but also have enormous football skills. Now we want another sense of achievement that will help us improve further. Because this is only possible through continuity in the results. A difficult game awaits us on Saturday and we have to show what we are made of.” The Roman also indirectly responds to the criticism after the home defeat against Bassano: “The match against Venezia showed that we can get along without some regular players can. A testament to the competitive squad we have.”

Thanks to the “threesome” in Venice, the FCS climbed up the table and now has four points. After the stuttering start with a draw in Como and the defeat against Bassano, a real benchmark now awaits the FCS in Monza. The Lombards are level on points with Pavia in first place and won two games before drawing against Pavia on Wednesday.

Three former FCS players at Monza

Several former FCS players play in Monza. The defender Walter Zullo played for the White-Reds in the 2009/10 season (9 appearances), the strikers Valerio Anastasi and Francesco Virdis both played in Bolzano in the 2010/11 season, but did not leave a lasting impression. But you should definitely watch out for the two attackers. In addition to Zullo, Anastasi and Virdis, the most famous Monza players are goalkeeper Sergio Viotti, defender Marco Briganti, midfielders Valerio Foglio, Salvatore Burrai, Matteo D'Alessandro, Mehmet Hetemaj and attacker Gianmarco Zigoni. They all already played in higher leagues and should help ensure that the Lombards return to Serie B.

Brugger and Kiem in the center of defense

Rastelli will be without the long-term injured Tagliani, Furlan and Bertoni on Saturday, while Marco Martin will be back after a suspension and will complete the defense alongside Brugger, Kiem and Mladen. The rest remains unchanged.

This is how they will play: FC South Tyrol (4-3-3): Melgrati; Brugger, Mladen, Kiem, Martin (Ientile); Finch, Tait, Branca; Marras, Lendric, Filehner. Replacements: Miori, Ientile (Martin), Mazzitelli, Petermann, Chinellato, Cia, Campo Coach: Claudio Rastelli

AC Monza Brianza (4-4-2): Viotti; Beduschi, Zullo, Briganti, Anghileri; Vita, Burrai, Hetemaj, Foglio; Anastasi, Virdis. Replacements: Chimini, Massoni, Franchino, Perini, Radrezza, Margiotta, Zigoni Coach: Fulvio Pea
