ALESSANDRIA – SIENA | Sunday 2:30pm
On paper, and looking at the standings, there should be no match between Alessandria and Siena: 12 points for the hosts, who are sixteenth and in the playout zone; 22 points for the Tuscans, who are three points behind first place, currently occupied by Cesena. Then, however, beyond the numbers, there is the field and that, in short, is a different matter. Also because it has to be said: the Piedmontese had started with quite different ambitions this season and find themselves fighting for the moment not to be relegated only because of a start to the championship that was too far below expectations. The time, moreover, to recover is there.
Also because Siena’s moment is not one of the best: last weekend the bianconeri lost at home against Lucchese in the Tuscan derby. And even a draw, to make up for this scorching defeat, could be welcome. In short, everything points, really, to the possibility that this match could give a point each.
The Prediction
Alessandria on the one hand in almost desperate need of points. Siena on the other who must forget a bitter defeat. In short, a point each could be really well accepted by both formations. Perhaps even in a match that could give at least one goal per team.
