Robbio, playoffs far away with two games from the end In the queue they risk three

Lavenia: «Binasco almost unreachable, but we will try» Alagna poised, towards the play out between Vistarino and Bressana

PAVIA

The Promotion Championship enters the hottest phase, with the last two days on the calendar, decisive both at the top and in the queue, where the fight to avoid relegation promises to be hot.

For the race for the record, fate is in the hands of Magenta, who leads the group with a 5-point advantage over Virtus Binasco and is very close to the leap to Excellence. Behind the leaders, the current classification scenario would involve a play-off formula in a restricted format, with the only match between Binasco and Assago, while the fourth, Sedriano, and the fifth, Robbio, would be excluded from the play-offs due to the range of over. 9 points from the second. The Lomellini coach, Dino Lavenia frames the prospects of his team, starting with a sincere praise to his boys who have been able to overcome many vicissitudes: «We have experienced a very particular year, with many adversities. In addition to several injuries, there was also the road accident that took away 4 important players. We are playing without ten starters and in the last round, I lined up three boys born in 2005 from our Allievi training. With these premises, what we are doing is a real miracle. We have 12 points from Binasco, second, and in these conditions it will be almost impossible to reduce the gap by 9 to get to the playoffs. For sure, we want to finish the year with pride ».

Bagarre in coda

In key safety, Locate, the last one unless you are from Alagna, is already relegated. To find out about the other two relegations, the last 180 minutes will be right. The current ranking would determine the relegation of Alagna, for the difference of 7 points from the fifth last, and the play-out clash between Vistarino and Bressana, but the games are very open. Marco Sconfietti, player and coach of Vistarino, who took over from Fiocchi, is confident for the final sprint: «I arrived for 9 days and the team has made decisive steps forward in terms of compactness and enthusiasm. I worked on the players’ heads, without neglecting the tactical aspect, and the results increased the confidence of our means. Now we have to try to score six points in the two remaining games, then we’ll see if they will be enough to save us or we will have to go through the play outs ». –
