FC Südtirol asks the front runners to dance

For six match days, FC Südtirol always picked up at least one point (four wins and two draws) before this positive streak was put to an end last Saturday with the defeat against Pro Patria. This was the second defeat under Sormani's leadership, whose record remains positive with eight wins and three draws. The FCS wants to iron out this surprising defeat with a win against the leaders at the weekend. The gap between the South Tyroleans and Alessandria, which climbed to the top of the table thanks to the win against Lumezzane, is seven points. They currently have the same number of points as Novara and Pavia.

The Piedmontese have picked up half of their 47 points so far away from home and have only lost away to Real Vicenza, Allbinoleffe, Mantua and Novara. They also have the second-best defense with 21 goals conceded and the third-best attack with 38 goals. The FCS can expect anything but an easy task on Saturday.

Martin and Furlan are missing Coach Adolfo Sormani will have to do without the suspended Marco Martin and the injured Alessandro Furlan on Saturday. However, the coach still has to decide who will take his place in defense. Tait could play on the left, while Allegra could play on the right wing. Walter Zullo could play centrally at the back. Up front there is a battle for position on the right wing between Campo, Marras and Shekiladze.

Servili as a guest in Bolzano

A player who has already played for both teams is sitting on the sidelines this weekend. Goalkeeper Andrea Servili was goalkeeper for FC Südtirol from 2002 to 2008 and, after his active career, which he ended last year in Alessandria - where he was number one for six years - is the goalkeeper coach for the Piedmontese team.

This is how they will play:

FC South Tyrol (4-3-3): Melgrati; Allegra, Mladen, Zullo (Tagliani), Tait; Fink, Bertoni, Branca; Campo (Marras), Novothny, Fiwickeler. Substitutes: Miori, Tagliani (Zullo), Kiem (Peverelli), Mazzitelli, Cia, Marras (Campo), Shekiladze. Coach: Adolfo Sormani.

Alexandria (3-5-2): Nordi; Sosa, Morero, Sabato; Vitofrancesco, Cavalli, Obodo, Mezavilla, Mora; Marconi, Rantier. Replacements: Poluzzi, Terigi, Picone, Spighi, Valentini, Iunco, Germinale. Coach: Luca D'Angelo.

Referee: Alessandro Prontera from Bologna (assistants: Nicola Fraschetti and Emanuele Mariani from Perugia).
