FC Südtirol: Crisis management in Busto Arsizio

Giovanni Stroppa's protégés have long since been defeated in the play-offs. Now all that's left is to end the season in a somewhat forgiving manner. The White-Reds are in 10th place in the table, five points behind a single-digit position and six points away from a play-out place. To prevent unnecessary fires from breaking out on the roof, Fink & Co. have to get a win against Pro Patria, who are lagging behind. A threesome that is long overdue: The White-Reds have only managed one win in the second half of the season so far. Back then, on March 5th, Bassoli & Co. won 1-0 against Cuneo in their own stadium thanks to Tulli's golden goal. Since then there have been three draws and two defeats. Against Pro Patria it will be of fundamental importance that FC Südtirol finds its way back to its old playing strength. Against Cremonese, the White-Reds' insecurity was noticeable in almost every action, especially in the first half. Only when the FCS was able to score the next goal did they free themselves from the blockade and their style of play approached the form of the old days. A sense of success would be good for the team - and against Pro Patria, Fink & Co. have every opportunity to take a small step out of the crisis. Nicholas Crovetto will not be playing against Pro Patria due to a yellow card suspension.

FC Südtirol: Crisis management in Busto Arsizio

On Sunday, FC Südtirol will meet Pro Patria in Busto Arsizio. The White-Reds are under pressure: they have to respond to the botched performance against Cremonese (1-2 defeat) against the bottom team. Otherwise the situation could become unnecessarily difficult again.
