FC Südtirol wants to get going again

“The start of the championship was very positive for us, 4 points in two matches is a great start. The team is in good form and this will be necessary to solve the difficult task in Lumezzane. For me, this team is one of the four or five strongest opponents in District A of the 1st Division and will certainly have a decisive say in the playoff places,” says sports director Luca Piazzi, looking forward to the upcoming away game.

In the two previous encounters, the FCS got a deserved away point against Albinoleffe and won 2-1 against Pavia on their home debut in the “Drusus” stadium in Bolzano. Lumezzane, on the other hand, still has to wait for their first win, the Lombards can show two points - after two draws and one defeat in three games.

Bocalon and Bertoni are missing As far as the injured team at FCS is concerned, Riccardo Bocalon will definitely be out for a long time. He suffered a broken fibula in the match against Pavia. Luca Bertoni and Matteo Timpone, on the other hand, are on the mend but are expected to have another week to finally recover from their muscle injuries. For the rest, Mister Stefano Vecchi has plenty to offer. In defense, Simone Iacoponi and Marco Martin seem to have secured a regular place. In the two remaining positions, five players, Hannes Kiem, Massimiliano Tagliani, Marco Cappelletti, Gianluca Rubin and Alessandro Bassoli, are vying for a regular place. Francesco Uliano can be expected to be used as a playmaker in midfield. He can expect support from Alessandro Furlan and Simone Branca, but Francesco Bontà also still has a chance of a regular place. Mame Baba Thiam, on the other hand, should cause danger in the attack, while Alessandro Campo, Riccardo Pasi, Hannes Fink or Roberto Candido can be used on the wings.

Lumezzane started the championship with high expectations and really wants to make it to the playoffs. The team was entrusted to Gianluca Festa, who as a player played for Cagliari, Lecce and Inter, among others. In defense, the name of Davide Mandelli stands out. The central defender kept Chievo Verona's defense tight for eight seasons and also played for Torino and Siena in the second highest Italian league. The FCS has to watch out for Michele Marcolini in midfield. Marcolini made 238 appearances and 21 goals in Serie A and moved from Padova to Lumezzane. In attack, the club has acquired a guarantee for many goals in Omar Torri. Torri played in Serie B for Albinoleffe until recently and scored 19 goals in 69 games over the last three seasons. Lumezzane has no injured or injured players at the moment.

The expected lineups: Lumezzane (4-3-1-2): Vigorito; D'Ambrosio, Mandelli, Dametto, Possenti; Gallo (Sevieri), Giorico, Marcolini; Baraye; Torri, English. On the bench: Coletta, Guagnetti, Sevieri (Gallo), Carlini, Dadson, Kirilov, Samb. Coach: Gianluca Festa
