Last week we lost our money on Reggina, so now it's time to take our money back from the bookmakers.
Ascoli are going down to the Serie B, no mater how much they are trying to avoid that. It's too late and they know that, so they shouldn't fight so much against that. A team that has won only 3 matches in the 32 played rounds so far doesn't deserve to stay in the best Italian league.
Reggina on the other side are very solid team. After 33 rounds they are in the dangerous 18th place with only 31 points but we shouldn't get fooled by the position because they are here only because the 11 points ban before the season because of the match fixing scandal. With those 11 points they would have been in the middle of the table where they belong and not in the relegation zone.
Ascoli coach Nedo Sonetti will have a selection headache to contend with for this crucial tie. Experienced veterans Gianluca Pagliuca, Gaetano Fontana and Marco Delvecchio are all out injured, while defenders Matteo Melara and Paolo Foglio have picked up suspensions. Reggina on the other side will miss only Francesco Modesto.
Probable formations:
Ascoli 3-4-3:
Eleftheropoulos - Corallo, Di Biagio, Lombardi - Fini, Zanetti, Boudianski, Pesce - Guberti, Soncin, Bjelanovic
Reggina 3-4-2-1:
Campagnolo - Lanzaro, Lucarelli, Aronica - Mesto, Tognozzi, Tedesco, Nardini - Foggia, Amoruso - Bianchi
On five matches from the end and almost all of them very hard (away to Sampdoria and Empoli and at home against Chievo and Milan), this match is very important for Reggina and if they really want to stay in the league they should win matches like this one against Ascoli.
