2nd position in the Serie C: Girone A table for Pontedera so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 13th-placed Juventus U23 visits Stadio Ettore Mannucci.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Coppa Italia Serie C game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at FeralpiSalo. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
