Comebacks and goal records: The hottest questions about the start of the league

Can Trent still be stopped? Theoretically yes, realistically probably no. The footballers from the neighboring region are “only” four points ahead of Bozner FC. It seems unlikely that the ensemble, which features numerous stars, will let up in the second part of the season after a very strong first half of the season. SportNews readers also assume that the 2016/17 league champions are named Trent: In a survey, 77 percent of almost 500 voters believed that Trent was no longer a threat. But football wouldn't be football if it didn't always have one or two surprises in store.

Will Fabio Bertoldi break the 35-goal mark? Slowly but surely the local sports editors are running out of superlatives for this man. Bertoldi already scored 33 goals last season, and this year he already has 15 goals after 19 games. If he continues at this pace, it will only be a matter of time before Peter Mair's magical 35-goal mark, set in the national league, falls.

Is Manuel Pipperger fit for his comeback and debut in the St. Georgen jersey? Yes. After the spectacular transfer during the first half of the season (Pipperger came from league rivals Ahrntal), he recovered from his torn cruciate ligament and completed his full preparation at St. Georgen. It remains to be seen in which system coach Patrizio Morini will send his luxury forward line, consisting of Orfanello, Albanese, Piffrader, Schwingshackl and Pipperger, onto the field.

How serious is the departure of Peter Mair from Naturns? Peter Mair is an exceptional player on the pitch and a joker in the dressing room. In winter he left Naturns for Merano. The Lower Vinschgers will feel his departure, but will be able to cope with it - after all, the team unity and enormous cohesion are the great strengths of the Naturns, with which they have already caused a sensation in the past.

How many teams are relegated? The big calculations, hopes and fears have already begun. The relegation battle will once again be the icing on the cake of the league season - also because half the league is involved in it. There is a gap of just eight points between seventh-placed Comano and bottom-placed Eppan. The big question is therefore: How many teams are relegated? That depends entirely on the D series. If one or two Serie D teams in the local region are relegated, then there will be three relegated league teams. However, if all three representatives of the fourth highest Italian league fall down, four upper league teams will be affected, which will have to complete the 2017/18 season in the national league.
