The FCS travels to Cuneo for the catch-up game

Coach Vecchi prepares the team for the match with great concentration. “Tomorrow we play the second of three games in a week. An unquestionably conclusive match, but we can draw on enormous motivation at this moment. We know that we can keep the playoff place in Cuneo and stay on the heels of Lecce and Trapani with a win,” said the FCS coach.

After the 2-2 draw against Como, he will make some changes to the lineups at the Paschiero Stadium in Cuneo. The two South Tyroleans Jonas Clementi and Hannes Kiem are injured and therefore did not travel to the training camp in Novar, where the team prepared optimally for the match against Cuneo after the game on Sunday. In midfield, Francesco Uliano could take the place on the left half-wing again, while Maritato, the top scorer in the distance with four away goals, will play in place of Testardi in the attack. Testardi put in an appealing performance in the Sinigaglia in Como, but needs a break. It could also be that the coaching team makes further small changes with a view to the English week.

The FCS hasn't lost away from home in two months. The last defeat came on January 13th, when Campo and Co. lost 1-2 in Pavia. On foreign soil, the White-Reds collected 14 of the total 41 points (three wins, five draws, four defeats).

Cuneo in low form

After a brilliant first half of the season, the club from Piedmont experienced a steep decline in the second half of the season. The last victory was on December 22nd. In the second half of the season, a meager two points have been scored so far and the last five games have been lost. Cuneo is trained by Ezio Rossi, an experienced coach. He has already managed teams in Serie A (Treviso) and Serie B (Triestina, Treviso, Grossetto and Gallipoli). Last season, thanks to the win in the playoff final against Virtus Entella, they achieved promotion to the third highest division. Torri was signed in January after spending the first half of the season at Lumezzane and previously earning his money for three years in Serie B at Albinoleffe. There he scored 69 goals in 19 games.

In the game against FCS, Cuneo will have to do without the suspended Simone Loria. It is also uncertain whether storm tank Omar Torri will return to the attack. Torri was signed in January after spending the first half of the season at Lumezzane and previously earning his money for three years in Serie B at Albinoleffe. There he scored 69 goals in 19 games. In addition to Loria, the two defenders Carretto and Ruggeri will certainly be missing, while Ferrario will return to the team.

In the first leg, FC Südtirol won 2-0.

This is how they will play:

Cuneo (4-3-1-2): F. Rossi; Di Lorenzo, De Franco, Scaglia, Donida; Palazzolo, Danucci, Cristini; Garavelli; Ferrario, Martini. On the substitutes' bench: Negretti, Arcari, Serino, Lodi, Longhi, Di Quinizio, Odennino (Torri). Coach: Ezio Rossi

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