FC Südtirol travels to Apulia with the long-term goal of the play-off

“In the draw against Triestina we clearly won one point and didn't lose two, because the ten of us showed that we are well positioned as a team and meet all the requirements to fulfill a dream for ourselves and our fans. I'm talking about taking part in the playoffs because all of us players believe in it!” Striker Niccolò Giannetti doesn't hide his ambitions.

The next game is on Sunday at the “Degli Ulivi” stadium in Andria, when the South Tyroleans play against the home team, which is tied with Feralspisalò in second-to-last place. Andria has been on the rise since the win on the last matchday against direct opponents Bassano to stay in the league. FC Südtirol will set off for Andria on Saturday morning, but will have a stopover with a training session at the “Veronello” sports center on Lake Gard before taking off from Verona airport.

“Fish” must continue to fit Compared to Sunday's game against Triestina, Stroppa only sees one big change. Pietro Cascone will return to the starting line-up, replacing the suspended Massimiliano Tagliani. All other players will be confirmed again, including Hannes Fink, who will once again replace the injured Manuel Filehner. The 20-year-old striker from Signat, who is the team's top scorer with twelve goals, is still suffering from a muscle injury in his lower leg. There is hope for Firiegeller that he can play again for the next home game next Wednesday, when the White-Reds host Latina at the Drususstadion at 20.30:XNUMX p.m. In addition to Filehner, the two long-term injured Luca Franchini and Matteo Chinellato will also be missing in Andria. The use of Daniel Pfitscher, who struggled with inflammation of his Achilles tendon during the week, is also questionable, unlike Amedeo Calliari, who is still injured but should find a place on the reserve bench.

Andria broke a losing streak of three consecutive defeats last Sunday by defeating Bassano. With six goals, striker Umberto Del Core is the team's best shooter. He has 11 games in Serie A with Catania and 62 games and 5 goals in Serie B with Catania and Cesena. Coach Cosco has to do without the suspended midfielder Massimiliano Marsili.

This is how they will play: AS Andria (4-2-3-1): Rossi; Meccariello, Cossentino, Zaffagnini, Pierotti; D'Alessandro, Arini; Loiodice, Russo, Minesso (Taormina); DelCore. On the substitutes' bench: Sansonna, Contessa, Larosa, Ballardini, La Mantia, Taormina (Minesso), Gambino Coach: Vincenzo Cosco

FC Südtirol (4-3-3): Iacobucci; Iacoponi, Cascone, Kiem, Legittimo; Furlan, Uliano, Campo; Schenetti, Giannetti, Fink. On the substitutes bench: Miskiewicz, Grea, Bacher, Santonocito, Calliari, Albanese, Chiavarini. Coach: Giovanni Stroppa
