"It's a great challenge that was needed right now": begins coach Alfonso Greco in introducing Sunday's big match at the "Vanni Sanna" against Ternana (kick-off at 3 pm). Newly relegated from Serie B, the Umbrian team is aiming to return to a championship that it has already played in for 39 seasons.

The numbers say that Ternana has the best attack of the group with 21 goals (but 8 were conceded to Legnago Salus) and the best defense with 5 goals conceded, 2 of which were conceded in the first and only defeat of the championship, on the first day against Pescara. Then came eight consecutive useful results.

"We know that they have important forwards for the category, like Cianci, Cicerelli and Donnarumma, and at least one starts from the bench, but it must be emphasized that they are strong in all points of the field. We must live it as a beautiful game to play, where we will try to impose our concepts against a team that does not come to defend but to have possession of the ball to manage the game".

The only player unavailable is central defender Antonelli, while midfielder Brentan has recovered from injury and has been training with his teammates for two days. Dametto and Idda are also doing better, although it remains to be seen whether at least the former is ready to play immediately in the rearguard trio. It should also be remembered that Zaccagno is back between the posts, having served his suspension.
