Reggina is still in the running. And it is already news, because it was difficult to imagine that the dull team of the last few weeks would find the ability to win two consecutive head-to-head matches having no alternatives. Another authoritative victory arrived at the home of former league leaders Athletic Palermo. There was a risk that the close matches would cause less brilliance, but the team ran throughout the match and managed all the moments of the match well. However, the double exploit (along with the one against Igea) was welcomed with great realism by the public.
The three points to be recovered from the new league leaders Nissa and the fourth place behind Savoia and the rosanero (both at +1) are conditions that make the comeback mission with five days to go very complex. By winning them all, Reggina would be certain of recovering only one position considering that Campania and Athletic will face each other in the penultimate round.
The place that counts is only the first and today it is not easy to imagine Nissa stopping with a calendar that does not appear very difficult. After the defeat against Reggina, the Caltanissetta team put together seven victories and three draws. A roadmap that closely resembles that of the Serie D teams that dominate. What, immediately, according to the predictions, the Amaranthians and the Sicilians should have done. The advantage gained by Nissa, even if not very large, risks being decisive for the final, exactly as Siracusa’s was last season.
However, this championship has already proven to be anomalous in many respects, the hope in Reggio Calabria is that in the last few days some useful surprises can be developed to obtain the desired results. The primary obligation in Amaranth is to focus on the need to make a streak in the last few races. Reggina that won against Igea Virtus and Athletic Palermo remains the same team that only scored one point between Vigor Lamezia, Acireale and Messina. Precedents that almost represent a warning for the future.
To make it five wins out of five we need to avoid repeating the performances which today are the reason why this championship is turning into a great missed opportunity.
Reggina will experience the pre-Easter round as spectators on Thursday. The match against Enna has been postponed to April 15th due to the commitments of the Sicilian national teams. As happened last week, the Strait team will once again find themselves playing three games in one week. In fact, the amaranths will return to the field on the 12th in Gela, a team that will meet Nissa in a heartfelt derby in three days. Furthermore, it will not be an easy round for Savoia who host Messina and for Athletic Palermo who face Gelbison away.
