It may be the fourth game of the season, but whoever loses tomorrow's match in Sestri Levante (3:00 PM) is firmly in the play-off zone. Bra is currently second to last with just one point, earned against Perugia, who equalized in the 102nd minute. After their victory over Pontedera, which struggled, Torres lost to a struggling Campobasso and to Pineto, who instead remain third in Group B.
The Sassari team is expected to win, even though they're without three of their starting players: goalkeeper Zaccagno and attacking midfielder Mastinu, who are injured, and midfielder Brean, who is suspended. They're joined by defender Stivanello and winger Larranzio, who are sidelined with injury.
Coach Pazienza is realistic: "We need to improve, but in the meantime, we need to learn to take points even in difficult situations." This is what is expected of Torres: to win even if they aren't at their best and at least five or six players are lagging behind in terms of physical condition. The very young Bra can only become a threat if the Rossoblu misjudge their approach to the match, as they have done in recent outings. They need to show personality and determination on the pitch. The game can wait, but the standings can't.
