Manuel Scavone and second-placed Pro Vercelli visit Bolzano

“For me, FC Südtirol is and remains a matter of the heart,” explained Manuel Scavone (127 games, 20 goals for the FCS) a few days ago Interview with SportNews.bz. On Sunday, however, only three points count for the 26-year-old from Bolzano wearing the Pro Vercelli jersey. The Piedmontese are a traditional team with a hundred-year history. She won the “Scudetto” seven times in the early 19th century. Participation in the Lega Pro, after relegation to the second division last season, is only seen as an interim stage and direct promotion back to Serie B is firmly planned, as the squad also bears witness to. This still has big names to show for it. Central defender Ranellucci, left winger Manuel Scaglia, playmaker Rosso, offensive right winger Erpen and Scavone stand out in the squad. New to Pro Vercelli in the summer from La Spezia were goalkeeper Russo and current top scorer Ettore Marchi from Benevento, who has already scored nine goals.

Pro Vercelli is currently in 2nd place in the table and just two points behind leader Virtus Entella. The traditional club is still unbeaten with seven wins and five draws.

A devastating thunderstorm at FC Südtirol? “Stop looking for explanations for what could have been and didn’t happen. No more anxious looking at the table and wishful thinking about being able to climb to the top straight away. The club management did well to call the team to order this week and show more responsibility for achieving the goals, which unfortunately has not always been the case so far. But we shouldn't panic either, because this team has a high level. We will continue to work hard and focus on getting stronger. The settlement is only made at the end.” With these clear and very open words, Mister Rastelli describes the path that his team has to take.

For the top game, the trainer can again rely on Furlan, who has served his suspension. However, the starting grid is still quite open, with Rastelli set to make a number of changes. This starts in goal, where the choice is between Micai and Tonozzi. In defense, only Iacoponi is considered set. Furlan will certainly play in midfield, probably accompanied by Vassallo and Pederzoli as playmakers. In attack, the trio Campo-Dell'Agnello-Corazza should once again be confirmed, who together scored 13 of the 20 goals, of which Alessandro Campo scored 8. So This is how they will play:

FC South Tyrol (4-3-3): Tonozzi (Micai); Iacoponi, Kiem (Cappelletti), Bassoli (Tagliani), Martin (Bassoli); Furlan, Pederzoli, Vassallo; Campo, Dell'Agnello, Corazza. Replacements: Micai (Tonozzi), Cappelletti (Kiem), Tagliani (Bassoli), Branca, Fink, Turchetta, Ekuban. Coach: Claudio Rastelli

Pro Vercelli (4-3-3) : Russo; Cancellotti, Bani, Cosenza, Scaglia; Marconi, Rosso, Scavone; Erpen, Marchi, Ruggiero (Fabiano). Subs: Ambrosio, Ardizzone, Disabato, Pepe, Gomez, Greco, Fabiano (Ruggiero). Coach: Cristiano Scazzola
