Olbia's "Black Wednesday" is not just the 4-0 home defeat by Juventus Next Generation in the midweek round valid for the 11th return matchday of Serie C.

To complete the picture of the already tragic situation of the whites, bottom of Group B, we put the results of the direct antagonists Recanatese, Sestri Levante and Ancona, who by winning respectively against Pescara, Rimini and Fermana lead on the Gallura, complicating the plans in playout key. With 8 days to go in the championship, mathematics does not condemn Olbia, but with 22 points in the standings and 10 points behind the fifth from last place, Marco Gaburro's team is now also excluded from the play-offs.

If at the end of the regular season the gap between the second to last and fifth to last were to be greater than 8 points, the second to last would be directly relegated to Serie D and the fifth to last would be safe without going through the playout lottery: in a nutshell, if the tournament ended today Olbia would be condemned to direct relegation after 8 consecutive years among the professionals.

Having said this, given that the objective now more than ever is to get back into the running for the playouts, we wonder how Olbia can reach the finish line and possibly win the play-offs: the team seen against the Juventus under, under 2 -0 after 5', it is so uncommentable that even Gaburro struggled to speak at the end of the match, defining yesterday's match as a "non-match".

As luck would have it, the game will be played in 4 days, at Lucchese's home: the best way to get back up is not to think too much about the fall and start again immediately.
