On paper, the match on Saturday at 2:30 PM at the Stadio Adriatico is a sure thing. Although the two teams are tied for fourth place, Pescara is practically at full strength, while Torres has seven players left out and can only get striker Scotto back on the bench.

Greco's Rossoblù have built their excellent standings with a near-full home record (16 points out of 18), while they've never won away from home, drawing twice (against Forlì and Campobasso) in five games. The Abruzzo side, however, have had a decent run at home, where only league leaders Spezia have taken all three points.

Rossoblu coach Greco could move Masala to midfield to fill the gap left by Mastinu and use Zecca as an attacking midfielder alongside Carboni behind the only remaining striker, Bunino. Unless he starts Giorico, the only change from last match, he'll likely start.
