FC Südtirol with offensive power against a defensive bulwark

“So far we have scored more points away than at home. However, you shouldn't forget that we laid the foundation for success in the Drusus Stadium last season, so we want to get back to our old home strength as quickly as possible - ideally with a win on Sunday," says Alfredo Sebastiani on the attack.

However, the FCS coach is also struggling with injuries after the spectacular win at Monza, so Cascone, Albanese, Traorè and Manuel Filehner will be missing again on Sunday. Sorrentino suffered a bruised thigh on the last matchday and, like Alfredo Romano, who is suffering from back pain, will probably only sit on the bench. So the same team that was last successful against Monza is likely to play again. The only thing that is unclear is Sorrentino's replacement, who will act as the only leader ahead of the Furlan-El Kaddouri-Campo trio. The choice will fall on either Virdis or Marchi.

A look at Pergocrema's last championship games reveals that Sunday's game will be anything but a walk in the park for the white-reds. The team from Lombardy recently won against Gubbio and wrested a point from Alessandria. In addition, Pergocrema, similar to FC Südtirol, has so far been far more dangerous away from home than in the home stadium. So far, the yellow-blue team have had three draws, two wins and just one defeat on foreign pitches. In addition, Pergrocrema has a defense that is difficult to overcome, having conceded nine goals in twelve league games. Among Sunday's guests, the experienced goalkeeper Russo, the former Brescia player Maccan and his strike partner Mammetti are particularly noticeable. With Salvatore Basile, Pergocrema also has a player who knows the Drusus Stadium inside out. The midfielder previously played for Bozen 96, with whom he finished the 2005/06 season in Serie D in an impressive fourth place.

The expected lineups:

FC South Tyrol (4-2-3-1): Zomer; Brugger, Kiem, Mirri, Martin; Burato, Mariano Romano; Furlan, El Kaddouri, Campo; Virdis (Marchi). Substitutes: Mair, Nazari, Baccolo, Alfredo Romano, Fink, Sorrentino, Marchi (Virdis). Coach: Alfredo Sebastiani

Pergocrema (3-4-3): Russo; Ricci, F. Romeo, Daleno; Ghidotti, Basile, Galli, Rizza; Mammetti, Maccan, Simeoni. Substitutes: Ingrassia, Panariello, Tobanelli, A. Profeta, Mugelli, Rodriguez, Scotto. Coach: Agenore Maurizi
