A very interesting test for Cosenza ahead of the midweek round. The rossoblù challenge the battleship Parma, fresh from a very long streak of useful home results. The Gialloblù have now played 18 matches without a home defeat. The Sila, who have never won against the Ducals, will try to undermine this figure, while at the same time trying to confirm the external progress made in the last month. Micai and his associates drew against Modena and prevailed over Sudtirol and Lecco. However, a perfect performance will be needed to put the leader of the cadet tournament in difficulty, defeated only three times so far but fresh from the draw in Como. The draw against the Como team ended a series of three consecutive victories.
Cosenza is also called upon to digest after the indigestible one hundred and tenth anniversary celebration. The defeat against Sampdoria undermined the rossoblù’s dream of recovery, who will play a concrete part of their ambitions in the next three matches. This evening Parma, then Catanzaro and Cittadella, two other teams that precede the Bruzio collective in the standings.
Training. Caserta’s assessments also focus on the psychophysical state of the group, a few hours after the match against Sampdoria. The last-minute defection for the coach is represented by Federico Zuccon. The coach will have to give up the midfielder born in 2003, who remained at home because he was feverish. At this point, the race opens for a shirt to join Praszelik. In the event of a move to 4-3-3 there could be room for Florenzi with the Pole and Voca. Among the offensive elements, the unknown Marras resists: if the Genoese were to give the required guarantees he could return from the first minute in Canotto’s place. Fontanarosa’s disqualification (the sports judge also stopped the goalkeeping coach Arcangelo Vigliotti for one match and imposed a fine of 6 thousand euros on the club in via degli Stadi: ndc) will lead to the immediate return of Venturi alongside Camporese, in defence. The possibility of a moderate turnover, also considering Sunday’s match against Catanzaro, could also give a chance to Tommaso D’Orazio, for whom Caserta reserved words of esteem before the match against Sampdoria. On the other hand, however, Gyamfi will be forced into overtime. Cimino is still out. At the “Tardini”, in addition to Zuccon, there will not even be Meroni, Viviani and the long-term patient Martino.
Referee. Cosenza is the team that Manuel Volpi from Arezzo has encountered more than any other. It will be the twelfth time that the Sila team will be managed by the Tuscan referee. In the previous matches, the balance leans slightly in favor of the rossoblù, victorious on 4 occasions. This year, Volpi has already refereed the match against Venezia of “Marulla”, won with a hat-trick by Tutino, former player of the match and whose card belongs to the gialloblù (Partipilo, meteor of the Centenary year, plays in Parma: ndc). Volpi was also present in Cosenza-Sudtirol, the second leg semi-final of the Serie C playoffs. With him, the rossoblù won only once away: 0-3 against Taranto, more than seven years have passed since then (29 December 2016) . Furthermore there were 4 draws and 3 defeats. The referee team will be completed by assistants Raspollini and Palermo, fourth official Centi, Var Mazzoleni and Avar Meraviglia. At the “Tardini” there will be almost 600 supporters following the Wolves.
The anticipation grows Meanwhile, derby fever immediately caused very high temperatures to be recorded. More than 12 thousand tickets have already been sold on the first day. Soldout the North “Catena” curve. The “Marulla”, in all likelihood, will be sold out already on the day.
