Pontedera and Pro Patria have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie C: Girone A.

Pro Patria could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie C: Girone A game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Como. 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.
