If the Serie C championship ended today, Olbia would be condemned to direct relegation. In fact, there are 8 points that divide the whites, second to last, from the fifth to last place.

A gap which, regulation in hand, excludes the possibility of playing for the category in the play-outs, rewarding, on the other hand, the fifth from last, which would be saved without having to go through the play-offs. As luck would have it, there are still 10 days left at the end of the regular season. But to at least not miss out on the playout train, a turning point is needed that not even the change in the bench a month ago managed to trigger. At least in terms of results.

Yesterday, the 17th defeat in the championship arrived, the fourth with Marco Gaburro as technical guide: Gallura lost 1-2 from Gubbio to "Nespoli". A result that made the coach quite angry. «If you play a match like this you can't bring home zero points, especially due to our demerits: it's not admissible», he thundered at the end of the match. "The team must understand that what they are doing is not enough: to make the playoffs you have to score points", added Gaburro, implying that even if mathematically direct salvation, currently 9 points away, is not impossible, with the trend Olbia already reaching the playouts would be a success.

The icing on the cake, on Saturday at Fermana, last in the class -2 behind the whites, the former Rimini player will have to do without Biancu, Nanni, Motolese and Montebugnoli due to disqualification and Cavuoti and Schiavone due to injury.
