Venue: Stadio Comunale Chiavari (4154 seats)

The Virtus Entella manager B. Tedino attacks this game with the team placed 19th so far. In the visitors dressing room Reggina and their manager D. Toscano are in 3rd place before this match.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Reggina's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Reggina have performed like this: Played three matches resulting in 0 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats with the goal stats 1-6 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Reggina when visiting Entella as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.
