Will the FCS find its way against leaders Reggiana?

“As a top team, Reggiana is very focused on ball possession and is particularly offensive. That could suit us, especially since we have delivered our best performances so far against supposed favorites,” explained midfielder Michael Cia in the course of this week SportNews interview . FC Südtirol is currently in tenth position, while Reggiana leads the table with the same points as Bassano.

Reggiana has not conceded a goal in five games

The club from Reggio Emilia finished third last season, but then fell to Bassano in the playoff semi-finals. The return to Serie B should definitely work out this season. That's why a powerful team was put together around former first division player Andrea Parola. So far Reggiana is on target. The team from Emilia-Romagna has nine points more than the white-reds, has won the last four games and has not conceded a goal in five games. Reggiana also has the best defense in the league and the second best attack.

A truly mammoth task awaits FC Südtirol. Especially since he also has to make do without the suspended offensive man Giacomo Tulli. However, one statistic can make the FCS positive: the South Tyroleans have not yet lost any of the six competitive games against Reggiana. If Giovanni Stroppa and his protégés had their way, this series should continue on Saturday afternoon. The game in the Drusus Stadium starts at 14 p.m.

This is how they will play:

FC South Tyrol (3-5-2): Miori; Mladen, Tagliani, Bassoli; Tait, Furlan, Bertoni, Fink, Crovetto; Maritato, Kirilov Replacements: Demetz, Brugger, Bandini, Girasole, Cia, Lima, Spagnoli, Gliozzi Coach: Giovanni Stroppa

Will the FCS find its way against leaders Reggiana?

FC Südtirol hasn't won in three games. The shape curve clearly points downwards. And now, of all times, league leaders Reggiana are coming to the Drusus Stadium. But the duel with the former Serie A club is not that inconvenient.
