Pavia assaulting Calvairate, all that matters is winning

Three points are needed to keep alive the hope of direct salvation. Accademia, probable party if it beats the Rhodense

PAVIA

Only one goal for Pavia: to beat Calvairate at Fortunati (3.30 pm) to keep alive the hope of avoiding the play outs until the last 90 ‘of the regular season. Except for last minute news, Mr. Fiorito will re-propose the eleven lined up last Sunday with Varzi and who did well by putting the grenades to the whip. The only doubt is the form, probably the 4-3-3 with Calvi and Donadio in the offensive phase in support of Blazevic; alternatively the 4-4-2 with Calvi outside in midfield; in the first leg Pavia won 2-1 in Milan and repeating themselves would mean not only bringing the opponents in the standings closer but also having the favorable balance of head-to-head matches in the event of an equal points finish. But more than making calculations, Pavia today only has to win the 3 points. Probable formations. Pavia (4-4-2): 1 Dieye; 2 Negri, 6 Della Volpe, 5 Marku, 3 Nucera; 11 Giani, 4 Rebolini, 8 Moratti; 7 Calvi, 9 Blazevic, 10 Donadio. Herds Fiorito. Calvairate (4-3-3): 1 Silva; 2 Beccaria, 6 Cutolo, 5 Volpini, 3 Bianchini; 8 Passoni, 6 Conte, 10 Visigalli; 7 Licciardello, 9 Ricupati, 11 Diabate. All. Curioni. Referee: Duccio Mancini of Pistoia.

Match ball Accademia

Beating Rhodense today in Sant’Alessio could allow mister Gaudio’s Academy to celebrate the achievement of salvation one day in advance without having to resort to the nightmare of play-outs – A dream, if you go back only a couple of months. The Academy, in fact, after having held a promotion average, now against Rhodense (third from bottom in the standings with 24 points) only needs one point to celebrate the permanence in Excellence. But in Sant’Alessio the watchword is only one: play to win, without making dangerous mathematical calculations. Rhodense will take the field with a knife between her teeth, looking for that victory that would allow her to grab important points to gain a better position against Pavia, which precedes her by two points. It is probable that Gaudio, in such a delicate match, will trust the same team that showed great maturity last Monday against Base Seveso. Pavese Academy (4-3-3): 1 Alio, 2 Castillo, 5 Filadelfia, 6 Tambussi, 3 Tomassone, 7 Casiroli, 4 Provasio, 8 Maggi, 11 Dioh E., 9 Dioh M., 10 Vassallo. All. Gaudio. Rhodense (4-4-2): 1 Mantovani, 2 De Giorgio, 5 Format, 6 Mari, 3 Malvestiti, 4 Campus, 7 Di Noto, 8 Castelnuovo, 9 Di Lernia, 10 Messaoudi, 11 Gentile. Herds Raspelli. Referee: Shepherds of Busto Arsizio. –
