Two teams who have started their season differently. In opposite ways, we could safely say. Because if Bucchi’s hosts, after having eliminated Venezia in the Coppa Italia, beat Ternana to win the first three points of their season, the visiting team led by Venturato was thunderstruck by Pippo Inzaghi’s Reggina, who took an important away win, highlighting the limitations of Ferrara’s troops. Who would not like to do the same championship as last year, fighting for salvation until the last bars, but who must surely try to give an immediate turn otherwise, the more time passes the more difficult it becomes to go back up the slope.
Certainly, getting a result at the Del Duca against this Ascoli team looks decidedly difficult. The hosts are flying on the wings of enthusiasm for an official start to the season that has certainly exceeded all expectations, especially for what was an away victory on the field of a Venezia side that, whether you like it or not, remains one of the most popular teams in the cadet championship.
The Prediction
There doesn’t seem to be much chance for Spal to find their first points of the season. Venturato’s team could pay dearly for the home defeat against Reggina. On the other hand, on the other hand, there is an Ascoli on the ball, ready from the physical aspect, who can look for the second win in a row in the championship. And who could even find it.
The probable line-up for Ascoli-Spal
ASCOLI (4-3-3): Leali; Donati, Botteghin, Bellusci, Giordano; Collocolo, Buchel, Caligara; Lungoyi, Gondo, Bidaoui.
SPAL (4-3-1-2): Alfonso; Dickmann, Arena, Meccariello, Celia; Mancosu, Viviani, Zanellato; Maistro; La Mantia, Moncini.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 2-1
