Sudtirol-Ternana is a match of the thirty-sixth day of Serie B and is played Wednesday at 3 p.m.: odds, predictions, live TV and streaming.
Almost equidistant from the playout zone and the playoff zone, Sudtirol only needs a few points to be sure of playing in Serie B again next season. The Bolzano club is -3 away from eighth-place Sampdoria and +6 away from fifth-last-placed Ascoli: salvation is now in the bag, all that remains to be seen is whether Federico Valente’s team is able to get back into the race for the postseason in extremis.
The latest results answer this question negatively: the “biancorossi” have won only once in the last five days and are coming off an unexpected defeat on the field of Modena (1-0), in which they confirmed that they have more than one problem in the ball possession phase. Since their bombastic success against Cremonese last March 16, Sudtirol have barely scored a single goal – a very heavy one, by the way, since it was worth a historic victory at Marassi against Sampdoria – and have remained dry for two matches in a row. A narrow defeat also for Roberto Breda’s Ternana, which if the championship ended today would be forced to play out the playout with Ascoli. It was precisely the bianconeri that threw the neroverde environment back into despair, going on to win 1-0 at the “Liberati” with a goal by Botteghin in the 90′: salvation is still far away.
Sudtirol-Ternana: the latest news on formations
In Sudtirol, the only change could be the return from 1′ of Odogwu, a burly striker who will again alternate with Merkaj. Otherwise, Valente seems inclined to confirm the same lineup that took the field in Modena a week ago.
Breda, on the other hand, has problems in defense, where Iannarilli, Sgarbi and Capuano will be missing. In the middle, Finland’s Pyyhtia is a candidate for a starting shirt. Doubts about the use of the convalescent Favilli.
The prediction
Sudtirol dreams of the playoffs but at the same time does not want to risk being sucked into the salvation struggle. And against Ternana the Altoatesini should manage to avoid defeat, relying mainly on great solidity: they score with the dropper, it is true, but they also concede very little. We predict a game of less than three goals overall.
The probable lineups of Sudtirol-Ternana
SUDTIROL (3-4-2-1): Poluzzi; Giorgini, Scaglia, Masiello; Molina, Mallamo, Arrigoni, Davì; Tait, Casiraghi; Odogwu.
TERNANA (3-5-2): Vitali; Boloca, Dalle Mura, Lucchesi; Casasola, Luperini, Amatucci, Pyyhtia, Carboni; Pereiro, Raimondo.
