Pavia, the only goal left is a play-out place as a favorite

Direct salvation ever further away after the daring defeat in the Accademia derby close to the finish line: decisive challenges with Seveso and Rhodense

PAVIA

Still 360 ‘at the end of the regular season and for the fight in the rear of the group A of Excellence also the midweek round confirms the shot towards the direct salvation of the Pavese Academy, while Pavia at this point, reasonably, can only aim for the fourth from bottom or fifth from bottom to have an advantage in the play outs.

The Azzurri’s last regret is linked to the Voghera derby, where, after the shocking start, going down after 3 ‘, they found themselves ahead on a 2-1 comeback, until Buscaglia equalized in the 32nd minute, before exiting defeated by Romano’s goal.

«A point would have served us for morale, even if at this moment we would need a heavy result for the classification, we thought we could hit it fifteen minutes before the end of the match – comments coach Giuseppe Fiorito -. Let’s start again from the good performance of Paris because another trip to Lazzate awaits us immediately ». Pavia will then have two consecutive rounds at Fortunati against Varzi (Easter Monday) and Calvairate to close on May 1st in Sesto Calende. Now the Azzurri are thirteenth, level on points with Rhodense, with quality there is parity in direct matches (two draws), while the overall goal difference in the regular season sees Pavia at -10 compared to Rhodense’s -13.

The Academy “sees” the finish line

The one who is definitely better off is the Accademia Pavese which, with a row of four wins and a draw in the last five races, has moved out of the play-out area. The narrow victory in Settimo Milanese (1-0) on Wednesday afternoon allowed the red and white of Sant’Alessio to win sixth from last place in front of Gavirate (27) who opened the play out area in fifth position. On Sunday, the Academy will be in Besozzo on the field of a Verbano back in the running for the playoffs (he is sixth at -3 from Varzi) even if the points behind Castanese (second) are 13 and with more than 9 the play-offs are not they would argue. The Academy will probably play direct salvation in the home matches with the unsafe Seveso and Rhodense, before closing on the pitch of the Ardor Lazzate who at that point should have nothing more to ask from the championship. The salvation challenges with Seveso and Rhodense could, therefore, be decisive to close the practical salvation by the team of Mr. Gianluca Gaudio. –
