Will Perugia be the next points supplier?

After FC Südtirol had three draws in a row with the 2-0 win against Benevento has returned to winning ways, the next opponent from the bottom half of the table awaits on Sunday. At 15 p.m. the white-reds welcome the guests from Perugia, who have to prove themselves in a tough relegation battle this season.

One thing is certain: Serie B is a balanced league. Only Frosinone is marching away at the top, otherwise you will be looking in vain for larger points gaps in the table. Perugia is currently in 30th place in the table with 27 points from 15 games, just 5 points ahead of bottom team SPAL. As befits a team that wants to save itself from relegation to Serie C, the Umbrians will demand everything from the FCS in terms of combat.

Perugia recently proved that it can do it against top teams, which now also includes FC Südtirol, on January 28th when it chased third-placed Bari out of their stadium 2-0. But the Talferstadt team already had Sunday's opponents under control in the preliminary round when they defeated the “Grifoni” 2-1 in Umbria.

In addition, all the lights are currently green for the South Tyroleans, because the term defeat has so far been a foreign word for the white and red in the 2023 calendar year. The fans in this country celebrated 5 wins and 3 draws in the last 8 games. Also Coach Pierpaolo Bisoli recently commented the performance of his protégés so far is extremely positive: “With 44 points and 11 games left, it will be difficult to slip below the bottom line. Today we can say that no one will take Serie B away from us. We are currently in the process of writing a fairy tale.” The successful coach doesn’t want to know anything about the playoffs at the moment.

There is good news in the case of Simone Mazzocchi, who, according to the club, has overcome his adductor problems and will be available to Bisoli against Perugia. Daniele Casiraghi is not expected to return to team training until next week after suffering a trauma to his calf, while Raphael Odogwu remains questionable for use at the weekend with similar problems.
