The usual reflections on the eve accompany Cosenza towards the away match in Latina. Against Pontini, Buscè’s team wants to try to close the gap to the top of the table. The last round of the championship allowed the Sila team to overtake Monopoli and reduce the deficit from first place by one point, now the prerogative of Catania. The away match against “Francioni” and the subsequent home match against Benevento represent the thermometer of Bruzie’s ambitions.
The Neapolitan coach will have to choose between D’Orazio and Ferrara in the low defense lane. The department that will certainly not undergo changes is the midfield one, which will continue to rely on the joint presence of Langella and Kouan to give greater substance and allow Garritano to move more. The Cosenza native, who grew up in the youth sector of Real Cosenza, is experiencing a 2025 full of difficulties and tough tests off the pitch. In the offensive trident, Mazzocchi and Ricciardi are the unmovable players at the moment. Florenzi is preparing for the final sprint ahead of Cannavò. The plan will not deviate from the established hierarchies, except for the unavailability of some of the usually starting players (Dametto suffered some discomfort this week). The final indications will filter to the coach from this morning’s final round, which brings forward the departure for Latina (first, at 11.20, Buscè will analyze the topics of the meeting in the press conference).

Two of these matches were played in Lazio, but a direct clash has been missing for a long time: after the first meeting in March 1970, when the Wolves advanced with a goal from Eros Gobbi, the two teams met again in October 1973. In that match 52 years ago the match ended goalless. A year to forget for the rossoblù, a few months later relegated to D due to the worse goal difference compared to Marsala.
