FC Südtirol is in action in Ravenna on Sunday

South Tyrol's only professional football team has impressed in the last two games. Another positive thing for FC Südtirol is the fact that the injury list is getting shorter and shorter. Alfredo Sebastiani can once again count on the services of Pietro Baccolo, Roberto Mirri and Hannes Fink. Of these three recovered players, only Fink made it into the 18-man squad. For him, Hannes Filehner was removed from the squad and has to take a seat in the stands. However, Tonino Sorrentino and Thomas Albanese are still injured.

“Mister” Sebastiani has not yet decided on the starting line-up. The competition is particularly fierce in midfield and on the left wing. Here the trainer has several options open.

And when it comes to the possible tactical direction, Sebastiani doesn't reveal his cards. In addition to the “4-3-3”, which has been tried and tested several times, other options would be a “4-3-2-1” or a “4-4-2”, which was the key to success against Spezia.

The opponent

Ravenna was able to stay in the league last season thanks to a draw on the final day of the match against Andria. This season, too, the team started the championship with the goal of staying in the league. In the summer, Ravenna strengthened itself, especially with young players. Among other things, with defender Tagliani (half owned by Ravenna and Fiorentina) and the strikers Caturano (born in 1990) and Guitto (1991), both of whom came from Empoli.

This season, Ravenna was unbeaten until the last matchday before suffering its first defeat in Sorrento. Ravenna was able to move ahead twice thanks to goals from Caturano and Tagliani, but Sorrento equalized each time and grabbed the three points with a goal in the final stages.

Previously, Ravenna scored points in every encounter: Como – Ravenna 1:2 (goals: Piovaccari and Gerbino), Ravenna – Bassano Virtus 1:1 (goal: Caturano), Gubbio – Ravenna 0:0 and the game between Ravenna and Cremonese also ended goalless .

Ravenna coach Esposito is likely to field the same team that played in the goalless draw against Sorrento. The use of striker Caturano, who is suffering from an ankle injury and only partially took part in team training, is still questionable. Esposito Varoli is still not available to the hosts.

The expected lineups:

Ravenna: Gian Maria Rossi; Tagliani, Ciuffetelli, Fasano; Cazzola, Rossetti, Fonjock, Maggiolini; Guitto; Caturano (Rosso), Gerbino Polo. Replacements: Pellegrino, Rossini, Gardella, Fabbri, Sciaccaluga, Serbatoli, Rosso (Caturano). Trainer: Vincenzo Esposito FC South Tyrol: Zomer, Traoreè, Cascone, Kiem, Martin; Furlan, Burato (Mariano Romano), Alfredo Romano; Campo, Marchi, El Kaddouri (Manuel Fiwickeler). Substitutes: Mair, Nazari, Brugger, Mariano Romano (Burato), Fink, Manuel Fiwickeler, Virdis. Trainer: Alfredo Sebastiani
