An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie B, with both Pescara and Perugia experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 17th place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Pescara can neither be promoted or relegated from Serie B. Perugia is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
