An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 19th and the visitors in 20th place.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie A. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Milan.
