Will the pot stay in Bolzano?

Excitement, explosiveness and thrills – the FC Südtirol season is taking on ever more dramatic forms. When the cup final kicks off on Wednesday at 20 p.m. in the Drusus Stadium, the absolute final opponents of the season await the White-Reds. Padova, the thorn in South Tyrolean football's eye, the team that could spoil the promotion party for the league leaders. The encounter could hardly be more exciting, because not only is precious metal at stake, but also a decisive psychological advantage for the championship final spurt. But one thing at a time: For the FCS it is the first final of the Serie C Cup and a win, especially against Padova, could significantly boost the morale of the team, as they scored important points in the last 2 games against Feralpisalo and Lecco left behind. Winning this title is equivalent to entering the play-off phase for promotion to Serie B, which is not particularly interesting for either team since both have already qualified for it. What is more desirable is the ticket to take part in the Serie A Cup next season. In the cup games, the South Tyroleans were quite convincing with their previous performances against Giana Erminio (4:1), Juventus U23 (2:1), Teramo (3:0) and Fidelis Andria (4:0 and 3:1). A duel at eye level As already mentioned, the first leg remained 0-0. The previous encounter between the two top teams in Serie C Group A also ended 0-0. Both teams seemed to have the opponent's offensive forces under control and did not make any serious mistakes on defense. In addition, Padova is a direct opponent on the penultimate matchday of the league. These 2 games between the rivals will show who has the upper hand and who deserves promotion to Serie B. As in the first leg, FCS coach Ivan Javorcic can be expected to rotate his starting lineup a lot in order to rest his regular players for the last three decisive games in the league.
