National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Reggiana U19 or Alessandria U19 that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Reggiana and Alessandria U19.
Reggiana U19 form and stats
Reggiana participated in Primavera Cup the last season, where they reached the 2nd round.Reggiana U19 are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadio Comunale with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Cittadella U19 match.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Reggiana, who played 2-2 against Cittadella U19. That match was also played at this venue (Stadio Comunale).
Heartbreak before that as Reggiana lost 1-7 at Verona U19's place.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Reggiana U19 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won zero times, drawn zero and lost one.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Cremonese U19 in only three days.
Alessandria U19 form and stats
Alessandria play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-6 to Parma U19. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Parma U19 was particularly ugly (1-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
A new game in only three days for Alessandria, the Primavera 2 home match versus Pordenone U19. Busy days.
