It's the Serie C Play-offs opening game for these sides, whom look forward to competing for points again. Will Virtus Francavilla or Nuova Monterosi get that vital first win?

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Nuova Monterosi have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-11-7 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
