During halftime of the match between FC Südtirol and Pescara, James Poluzzi Poluzzi was honored on the pitch of the Drusus Stadium for his outstanding service in the FCS jersey. He was one of the key players in the promotion to Serie B in the 2021/22 season and was also a pillar of the team in the second division before the now 38-year-old moved to Ravenna in Serie C in the winter.

The match kicks off on Sunday at 5:15 PM. Pescara is no ordinary bottom-of-the-table team coming to Bolzano. The newly promoted side has picked up ten points from their last five games and is in top form. Their most recent match was a 4-0 victory against Bari. Former Napoli captain Lorenzo Insigne has played a key role in the revival of Pescara.

"This is a completely different team compared to the first half of the season," explained FCS coach Fabrizio Castori at the press conference. Pescara will have to play without their away fans on Sunday, as well as in the remaining away games of the season. The reason for the ban was a firecracker thrown during the match in Frosinone, which injured three firefighters. Emanuele Pecorino is available for FCS to play despite his broken hand. Raphael Kofler is also fit and ready to play again.
