We are entering the heart of the postseason. At the end of it all, only one team will earn a spot in Serie B. Yes, the three teams that had reason to celebrate have already done so, while the others are still dreaming and sweating.
Let’s start with the rules: in this first phase, at the end of 90 minutes, in the event of a draw, the home team will advance, as they will have had a better position in the standings during the season. This happened in the first round last Sunday and will also happen in the second round scheduled for Wednesday. All the matches in question will be played at 8 p.m., so it will be an evening for the strong of heart. Let’s take a look at what could happen.
Serie C playoff predictions: our picks
The match between Albinoleffe and Atalanta is very evenly balanced. These two teams have faced each other four times in their history, and on three occasions (including twice this season), the match ended in a draw. This result would obviously suit Albinoleffe, who would advance to the next round with a draw. Yes, this match could end the same way again.
Crotone hosts Juventus Next Gen at home. At the Scida, the league match ended 2-1 for the Calabrians. Once again, home advantage could prove decisive, especially as the Bianconeri are (obviously) a young team and at this level could pay for their lack of the guile needed to progress. In short, Crotone is the favorite.
Inglese’s brace against Giugliano allowed Catania, one of the favorites to go up to Serie B, to earn a playoff against Potenza. Mimmo Toscano’s team is favored. Finally, between Pescara and Pianese, given that the two previous league matches ended this way, we believe that both teams can easily find the back of the net.
OUR PREDICTIONS
Crotone to win in Crotone-Juventus Next Gen
Catania to win in Catania-Potenza
Both teams to score in Pescara-Pianese
THE “SENSATIONAL”
Draw in Albinoleffe-Atalanta
