The first game of the three-game series in seven days is also the one Torres will face with the most absences, as the injured players are unlikely to recover for Sunday's match against Ostiamare. The game will be played at the "Vanni Sanna" stadium, kicking off at 3:00 PM, and fans are expected to cheer on a team eager to bounce back from the resounding defeat in Grosseto.
Coach Alfonso Greco admits: "Objectively, we had a poor performance. We've been thinking about it this week, and we must take into account the lessons learned from Grosseto. We need to get points."
Striker Sorrentino and defender Zanandrea are still out, and at least three or four players are doubtful. Changes are expected in the starting eleven; at least one of Carboni and Lunghi could start. "We've worked in a certain way to exploit the strengths of those who are available. Mastinu took part in his first training session, but we also have a game on Wednesday, so we need to make decisions based on that match."
