Is FC Südtirol about to soar?

When FC Südtirol plays its guest game at the Zini Stadium on Saturday, one player in particular will be in focus. Namely Alessandro Campo, who left the FCS last winter to return to Bozen after just a few months in Cremona. His commitment to the former Serie A club can safely be described as a failure. "In Cremona I realized that although money plays an important role for a professional footballer, it cannot replace the environment, the respectability of a club or the status among the fans. And Bolzano has also become “my” city, it “It's good to live here in South Tyrol and I think I'll stay in Bolzano even after my football career,” asserts the offensive player in the FCS monthly magazine.

However, it is still unclear whether Campo will play against his former club on Saturday. On the offensive, there are five players fighting for three regular spots: him, Fiwickeler, Marras, Lendric and Cia. Marras and Lendric have made a much better impression recently. Otherwise, Coach Rastelli will largely trust the team that defeated Monza 1-0 on the last match day.

See you again with Marchi and Bassoli

Whether FC Südtirol will travel home from Lombardy with three points also depends on the form of the Cremonese players on the day. They undoubtedly have the quality to have a say in the promotion race. However, so far they have not been able to convert their potential on the pitch into sporting success. The Grigiorossi have only had one win so far. They only managed two goals in five games. This poor record should now be polished up in the home game against FC Südtirol. Two former FCS players could make a decisive contribution, namely Alessandro Bassoli and Mattia Marchi. The former was the head of defense for the White-Reds last season, while Marchi scored the decisive goal for promotion to the 2010st Division in 1. So the upcoming meeting is likely to be a very special one, and not just for Alessandro Campo.

This is how they will play:

US Cremonese (4-3-1-2): Battaiola; Marongiu, Giorgi, Bassoli, Favalli; A. Marchi, Jadid, Palermo; Messetti; M. Marchi, Brighenti. Replacements: Venturi, Zieliecki, Palomeque, Gambaretti, Lombardo, Ciccone (Mascolo), Manaj. Coach: Mario Montorfano.

FC South Tyrol (4-3-3): Melgrati; Mladen, Kiem, Tagliani, Ientile (Martin); Finch, Tait, Branca; Marras, Lendric, Filehner. Replacements: Miori, Pacifico, Martin (Ientile), Mazzitelli, Petermann, Cia, Campo. Coach: Claudio Rastelli.
