After an intense and satisfying week, Ravenna is preparing to return to the field for one of the most challenging matches of the championship. On Sunday, the yellow-reds will be guests of Piacenza at the Garilli Stadium, in a match that promises to be hard-fought in every aspect.

The home team is experiencing a season well below expectations. After winning the playoffs last season, like Ravenna, Piacenza started with the ambition of fighting for promotion, but the results have never lived up to the premises. The team has gone through a troubled period, with a change in the coaching position between coach Rossini and the subsequent takeover by Carmine Parlato, which did not bring about the hoped-for change in momentum. The club has therefore decided to reappoint Rossini, in the hope of reviving a journey that currently sees the white and reds involved in the battle to avoid the playouts.

Despite the difficulties, Piacenza remains a formidable opponent. On paper, the squad is one of the best equipped in the category, with experienced and high-quality players like Recino, D’Agostino, and Palma, who are capable of making a difference at any moment. Moreover, the need for points to distance themselves from the danger zones represents an additional motivation for a team that will give their all in front of their home crowd.

On its part, Ravenna comes into this match with great enthusiasm. Coach Marchionni’s team has solidified its position at the top of the standings thanks to two convincing home victories: first, a 4-0 win against Imolese in the league, and then a 2-0 victory over Lavagnese in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals. The giallorossi now aim to end this week on a high note, seeking to secure another three crucial points in their pursuit of the final objective.

On the training front, there are no updates on the unavailable players, but Lordkipanidze is back available after serving his suspension. The midfielder is vying for a starting spot, ready to take Ilari’s place, who is sidelined after the injury sustained against Imolese.

Great anticipation in the stands as well: about 250 Giallorossi fans will travel along the Via Emilia to support the team. This is another sign of the passion that accompanies Ravenna this season, in a match that promises to be intense and full of emotions.
