FC Südtirol has their sights set on their fourth win in a row

Since coach Adolfo Sormani took over at the White-Reds, they have not given up a single point. After the 2-0 against Lumezzane, the 1-0 in Sassari and the 2-0 against Pordenone, the next full point win should now follow against thirteenth-placed Mantova.

But the Lombards are also currently in impressive form. In the last five games they were able to record a total of three wins (against Feralpisalò, Pordenone and Giana Erminio) on their team account. The FCS supporters who will travel to the Danilo Martelli Stadium in Mantua on Saturday can certainly expect an interesting game. Kiem and Co. have firmly planned for three points, but the home team, who will have Andrea Trainotti, a young Trent native (born in Ala), on the pitch, will do everything they can to trip up the guests. The game kicks off at 19.30:XNUMX p.m.

Sormani has to do without Mladen

For the match against Mantua, the white and red coaching staff will only be missing the suspended defender Sebastian Mladen. The recently injured Hannes Fink and Simone Branca, who were missing against Pordenone, are returning to the team and Luca Bertoni will most likely manage to get fit in time.

Mantua under the microscope

This season the team was entrusted to the Croatian Ivan Juric. The former coach of Genoa's Primavera team is in charge of a professional team for the first time and has a fairly young squad at his disposal. On Saturday he will certainly have to do without the suspended defender Raggio Garibaldi as well as the injured Zanetti and Scalise. Juric usually has his team play in a 3-4-3 system, relying on central defender Angelo Siniscalchi (eight appearances in Serie B with Ascoli and Salernitana) and midfielder Matteo Paro (49 appearances in Serie A with Juventus, Cesena and Genoa as well as 117 appearances and eight goals with Crotone, Juventus, Piacenza and Hellas Verona in the second highest Italian league). In attack, the FCS players have to be careful of 34-year-old Gaetano “Tanino” Caridi. The striker has already scored 57 goals in Serie B (with Mantova, Grosseto and Pro Vercelli). The young Said and Novothny storm with him.

So far, FCS and Mantua have met ten times in the C2 championship. In the balance of direct duels, the FCS leads with five wins, while Mantua was able to celebrate a “threesome”. At the Martelli Stadium, the FCS won once (2001/02), drew three times and lost one match.

This is how they will play:

Mantua (3-4-3): Festa; Trainotti, Siniscalchi, Scrosta; Gonzi, Paro, Zammarini, Blaze (Pondaco); Boniperti, Said (Novothny), Caridi; Replacements: Paleari, Marchiori, Pondaco (Blaze), Di Santantonio, Fortunato, Novothny (Said), Tomicic. Coach: Ivan Juric

FC South Tyrol (4-3-3): Melgrati; Tait, Tagliani, Kiem, Martin; Furlan, Bertoni (Mazzitelli), Branca; Marras, Lendric, Fiwickeler; Replacements: Miori, Ientile, Bertinetti, Mazzitelli (Bertoni), Cia, Campo, Chinellato. Coach: Angelo Sormani

Referee: Lorenzo Bertani from Pisa (Marco Pancioni and Marco Scatragli from Arezzo)
