FC Südtirol is fighting for a conciliatory conclusion

Four games before the end of the championship, FC Südtirol is nine points ahead of a playout place. A good cushion that was created due to the penalty points from Monza. Actually, there is even a ten-point lead, because if the points were equal, the FCS would be saved by the two victories in the direct duel. In order not to have to do mathematical calculations, a win in the remaining four games would be enough for FC Südtirol. The White-Reds want to achieve this at home against Mantova on Sunday morning.

The Lombards, like the FCS, are heavily criticized. Sitting in 13th place, Mantova has not won since March 15th and has lost its last three games against Pordenone, Giana Erminio and Novara. Away from home, Mantova has only scored 15 of the total 40 points. Meanwhile, the FCS has been waiting for a win since February 7th. In the last ten games, the South Tyroleans got a measly four points. In addition, in the last four games they only hit the opponent's goal once.

Fink is on the verge of a comeback

The FCS is missing three suspended players: Mazzitelli, Mladen and Branca. Captain Hannes Kiem is fit for action again. He has recovered from the abdominal muscle injury and will form the central defense with Tagliani. In midfield, Sormani is expected to put Fink in the starting lineup. The Rittner could therefore make his comeback after a week-long injury break. In the storm, Marras and Shekiladzeum duel for a regular place.

FC Südtirol - Mantova: the eternal duel

Mantova and FC Südtirol have met eleven times so far. FCS leads the record with six wins. The game ended in a draw four times and Mantova was only able to leave the field as winner once. This happened in 2002/03 when the Lombards defeated the FCS 2-2 in the first leg of the playoff semi-final in Serie C1.

This is how they will play: FC South Tyrol (4-3-3): Melgrati; Tait, Tagliani, Kiem (Zullo), Martin; Furlan, Bertoni, Fink; Marras (Shekiladze), Novothny, Filehner. Replacements: Miori, Zullo (Kiem), Allegra, Peverelli, Cia, Campo, Shekiladze (Marras). Coach: Adolfo Sormani.
