IVREA

Ivrea is first in the standings and also continues in the Italian Cup. The long run to the top of the ranking has finally been completed and theIvrea, in the wake of the eleven consecutive useful results, after having taken a seat in the most prestigious armchair she has no intention of abandoning it. Having found an excellent squaring on the field, the orange in the last few games, including that of the Cup with the passing of the round against San Mauro, went to the net with a certain ease. Now it is a question of continuing on the path traced, demonstrating it also on Sunday when the Union Vallesusa will come down at the Gaglione di Bollengo which includes one of the most beaten defenses in the championship with almost two goals conceded per game. But be careful: statistics are one thing, but what matters is the response of the field. In fact, there is no doubt that the technical caliber of the two teams is different, and the balance hangs decidedly on the side of Porrini’s boys, but no one thinks that it will be easy to bend the Valsusians who stopped Lascaris away from home and pulled a bad joke all around. ‘Alpignano. Meanwhile, Ivrea beat San Mauro 3-1 after extra time at the end of an exciting match in the second leg of the first knockout round of the Italian Cup (first leg 0-1) on Wednesday evening. In goal at 93 ‘Sardaro. In extra time, found 2-0 in the 5 ‘of the first half, 2-1 by Fascio on the penalty in the 9’ of the second overtime, and found in recovery.

In second position, just one point away from the orange, the grenades of the Rivarolese who are going through an excellent period of form as evidenced by the last five consecutive victories following the internal knockout with Alpignano. And it is precisely the home games that have reserved less joy for the grenade management while away Stefanetto’s boys are still unbeaten and have won 17 points out of their 26 total.

On Sunday, President Surace’s grenades are expected in Pianezza by a group that has won his only two victories in the last two rounds. From the Rivarolese side, therefore, the famous saying “there is no two without three” will have to be dispelled and to do so it will be necessary to play a game without the anxiety of immediately going to the net but to look for it through the game with calm and patience.

The Quincinetto Tavagnasco will host the Lascaris at the Cipriano, the race starts at 3 pm. In addition to doing a pleasure to themselves, beating the Bianconeri guests, Vernetti’s nerostellati would do a nice favor to both Ivrea and Rivarolese but it will not be easy also because Valsecchi and his teammates at home, where they only beat Sportiva Nolese, they do not march as fast as they are away. It is imperative to reverse the trend to give some satisfaction to the home fans.

Commitment to be taken with the springs for the Banchette Ivrea who will go to Turin on the field of Torinese 1894, a direct competitor in key safety while the Volpiano will host Caselle at Goia starting the match at 3 pm with the firm intention of continuing the journey in the standings and positioning itself firmly in the playoff area while waiting for the winter market to bring some surprises to the squad of Mr. Parisi.
