FC Südtirol wants to stay on course for the playoffs in Reggio Emilia

“The encounter on Sunday will be very special for me. I played for Reggiana two years ago and it was a very good season for me. But as soon as the kick-off sounds, I will forget the beautiful memories of the fans and the surroundings and concentrate on getting the points that are so important for us. Away counters that would mean that we would remain in the upper part of the table. “I also really want to make up for the missed goal in the game against Como,” said Piergiuseppe Maritato, bursting with energy, about the game against Reggiana. The 23-year-old attacker scored two goals in FC Südtirol's last four matches.

Last Sunday, FC Südtirol's defense was able to avoid conceding a goal for the first time in the top game against Como. In the away match on Sunday, it is important to increase the number of points outside South Tyrol, because of the total 14 points, Captain Kiem & Co. were only able to get 4 on foreign turf.

Fink and Campo are fighting for a regular place Coach Stefano Vecchi will certainly have to do without the two long-term injured Riccardo Bocalon and Jonas Clementi, while there is a big question mark over the use of midfield engine Alessandro Furlan. He is suffering from a muscle injury and had to miss the game against Como. Francesco Bontà could take his place. Not much will change in the rest of the starting eleven. Vecchi's only uncertainty is in the attack, where either Rittner Hannes Fink or Alessandro Campo will play alongside Thiam and Maritato.

Reggiana can look back on a very glorious and successful sporting history. The club has played in Serie A and Serie B in the past, but is in its fifth consecutive season in Italy's third tier league. The aim of the season was and is to secure relegation as quickly as possible. The coach who should achieve this is, like last year, Lamberto Zauli. The former professional footballer was active at Vicenza, Bologna, Palermo and Sampdoria, among others. Reggiana has been waiting for a win for five championship games (two draws, three defeats). Coach Zauli is by no means lacking in interesting players. Worth mentioning are the goalkeeper Tomasig, who stood between the posts for Albinoleffe in Serie B last year, the defenders Zini and Mei, the midfielders Parola and Viapiana and the hanging striker Alessi. Winger Matteini, who has served his red card suspension, will also return on Sunday.

This is how they will play: Reggiana (4-4-1-1): Tomasig; Bani, Zini, Mei, Panizzi; Iraci, Ardizzone, Viapiana, Matteini; Alessi; Rossi. On the bench: Bellucci, Aya, Antonelli, Bovi, Ferrara, Parola, Sprocati. Coach: Lamberto Zauli

FC South Tyrol (4-3-3): Marcone; Iacoponi, Cappelletti, Bassoli, Martin; Bontà, Uliano, Branca; Fink (Campo), Maritato, Thiam. On the bench: Grandi, Kiem, Tagliani, Bertoni, Candido, Campo (Fink), Pasi. Coach: Stefano Vecchi

Referee: Andrea Adduci of the Paola section (Pignone-Carovigno)
