The FCS has lost all three games under new coach Marco Zaffaroni and has a goal difference of 0:8. The White-Reds are still holding on to the 55-year-old. But can Zaffaroni afford another defeat? Not really. On Friday evening at 20.30:XNUMX p.m., FC Südtirol faces its next tough challenge. It is away against newly promoted Juve Stabia.

The Campanians made a confident return to Serie B last year. Juve Stabia is currently in 9th place, although their engine has recently started to stutter. They have been waiting for a win for 7 games. The club is based in Castellammare di Stabia. The port city on the Gulf of Naples has a population of around 60.000. The Romeo Menti Stadium has 7.100 seats, with Juve Stabia having an average attendance of 4.300. In this statistic, the Wasps are one place ahead of FCS in fourth-to-last place.

FCS hopes for Poluzzi

FC Südtirol flew to Naples on Thursday afternoon. From there, the team will travel 30 kilometers south. Goalkeeper Giacomo Poluzzi is also there. The 36-year-old was absent from the last game against Cremonese due to back problems. His replacement Giacomo Drago made another mistake. Poluzzi is set to return to goal on Friday. Jasmin Kurtic and Fabian Tait are still out. Defender Andrea Cagnano, however, is back.

"The team is doing everything possible to react to this situation. The players are working with great determination to overcome this difficult phase and reverse the trend. The focus of our work is primarily on the mental aspect, which is crucial in many situations in football," Zaffaroni explained on Thursday before departure from Bolzano.
