"This is a team that will save itself on the last day" recalled coach Stefano Sottili after the defeat in the derby. The problem is that the lead on the playouts has dropped to 3 points and if San Donato Tavarnelle has the advantage of one more goal with equal wins in direct matches, against Vis Pesaro the balance is negative because the rossoblùs have remedied a draw and a defeat, as well as against Olbia, separated by only 5 lengths.

Anxiety arises from two factors: too many injuries and the lack of malice of a team that is committed but, apart from a few elements, does not have enough personality to put it on the physical level and cunning when needed. The derby against Olbia was a confirmation: on a technical-tactical level the team did what it could with its contingent limits in attack (also absent Diakite and Scappini as well as Ruocco and Scotto) and unfortunately stable in defense, but of competitive spirit, much more impact would have been needed, much more wickedness in a challenge that has been renewed for 99 years.

Pontedera arrives at the "Vanni Sanna" on Sunday and it is a race that must be won absolutely, because otherwise the season finale will become complicated. We need to recover at least one between Scappini and Diakite. In case one of the two misses, it wouldn't hurt to trust Omoregbe right away: in relation to playing time, he is the player who has the most dangerous shots on target.
