FC Südtirol has firmly planned for three points

The signs that the second home win against Pro Patria will work are good, especially since FCS coach Claudio Rastelli is a kind of red rag for the Lombards. With his previous teams Pergocrema and Feralpisalò, the Roman won both in the playoffs and in the playout against Pro Patria. He also celebrated two victories with the FCS last year.

At Pro Patria the trainer is the star

On the other side, Luis “Lulu” Oliveira will set the tactical direction on Saturday. The former professional footballer, who played for the Belgian national team (31 games, 7 goals) and for Anderlecht, Cagliari, Bologna, Fiorentina, Como and Catania, was named the best coach in Serie D in 2013. Pro Patria has a very young team and will travel to Bolzano without Botturi, Lamorte, D'Errico, Romeo and the injured ex-FCS player Candido. Important players are the experienced Franco-Belgian offensive player Baclet and striker Serafini. He has 21 appearances in Serie A and 124 appearances (20 goals) in Serie B. Pro Patria only has one win and one draw from the first five games.

Fink and Lendric fit again

Saturday's opponent shouldn't be a stumbling block for the FCS. Especially since the South Tyroleans urgently need to score points in order to stay in touch with the top places in the table. Coach Rastelli can send almost his best eleven into the race against Pro Patria. Only the repeated red-sinner Martin and the still injured Bertoni have to pass. Fink and Lendric are available to Rastelli again, although the latter will initially sit on the bench. In the attack, Marras, Firiegeller and Cia will probably be given preference initially. Kiem, Tait and Fink are sure to have a place in the starting eleven.

This is how they will play:

FC South Tyrol (4-3-3): Melgrati; Mladen, Tagliani, Kiem, Ientile; Finch, Tait, Branca; Marras, Filehner, Cia (Campo). Replacements: Miori, Brugger, Furlan, Petermann, Mazzitelli, Campo (Cia), Lendric. Coach: Claudio Rastelli.

Pro Patria (4-4-2): Perilli; Guglielmotti, Anderson, Zaro, Panizzi; Giorno, Cannataro, Ulizio, Taino; Baclet, Serafini. Replacements: Zanier, Gerolino, Cannoni, Arati, Bovi, Bianciardi, Terrani. Coach: Luis Airton Oliveira.

Referee: Alessandro Pietropaolo from Modena
