The good news is that for Saturday's away match at Spal, Olbia will be substantially at full strength : after Biancu and Nanni, Mordini is also back available, who after 3 months of absence could collect his first minutes post-injury in Ferrara .
In the end, in the match of the 19th and final first leg of the Serie C championship, the long-term patient Boganini, who this year only played in the summer friendlies, and Cavuoti, who, struggling with muscular problems, will return in January, will be missing. There is already hope for the first match of the new year: the away match with league leaders Cesena, scheduled for January 7th.
Then, there's the bad news. Which are – as is well known – the difficulties of Leandro Greco's team in front of goal, with just 12 goals scored so far, and a defense that in a short time has gone from being a guarantee to being a sieve. In the last two matches, which resulted in as many defeats, Olbia conceded 7 goals between 4 by Pescara and 3 by Pontedera, which brings the deficit to 28. Numbers that make the Whites' rearguard, third to last in the standings with 17 points, the most beaten together with the defenses of bottom Fermana and Arezzo, who however scored 23 goals and are, not surprisingly, tenth, and not in the relegation zone like Olbia.
The feeling is that in view of the direct clash with Spal, second Cinderella of Group B, Greco must work above all on the minds of his players, who are not the ones seen in the last two outings. This is why the trip to Ferrara could be crucial. And on a moral level rather than for the rankings.
