The club members enjoyed Hellas's previous game versus Sassuolo (placed 12th), a 2-1 win played at home. Hooray; their first victory in the league after six games not winning. Late drama in the previous game, when Gaich scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time to defeat Sassuolo. Ceccherini was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.6. The defender Ceccherini scored one goal and won 4 of 9 duels.
