Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sunday’s football game at Stadio Paolo Mazza pits together Spal and Reggina, the two teams who face each other in the opening match of the season. Spal finished the last Serie B season just above the relegation zone, and, no doubt, the team’s main goal for the new campaign is to secure yet another second tier survival. Lorenzo Colombo joined Lecce earlier this summer, and, in his absence, a man to keep an eye on in the home side will be Marco Mancosu, who scored six goals last term.
Reggina, on the other hand, aim to make amends for the Coppa Italia loss to Sampdoria, but seeing that Filippo Inzaghi’s men are not regarded as good travellers, we are tempted to put our money on the Gli Spalini. New recruit Federico Santander is likely to make his Serie B debut with Reggina against Spal.
Highlighted Player (Alberto Pomini):
Alberto Pomini is a 185-cm-tall goalkeeper who played for Verona during his youth career. In 2001 he moved to San Marino and he made 17 league appearances for the club in the Serie C2. At the end of the season he signed a deal with Bellaria and after playing 20 games for the club, he moved to Sassuolo in 2004.
Pomini played for the Neroverdi in the Serie C2 back then, but the club have been making progress year by year. Sassuolo are currently playing in the Italian top flight, but it has to be noted that Pomini did not see any game action in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign. The Italian goalkeeper wore No. 17 on his shirt between 2008 and 2012, but following Davide Bassi’s departure he received number 1 shirt.
Alberto Pomini was born in Isola della Scala, Italy on 17 March, 1981. He has a contract with Sassuolo which expires at the end of the 2016/2017 Serie A campaign. His agent is Danilo Caravello.
