Perugia vs Cosenza Calcio
Perugia will continue the Serie B campaign after ensuring Coppa Italia tickets. Their return will be warmly welcomed by Cosenza who are scheduled to be the 15th opponents of the season. The clash was held at the Stadio Renato Curi.
The host appeared at home to Sassuolo last Wednesday (4/12) and managed to beat his rivals with a score of 1-2. These results ensure that Perugia escapes from the fourth round of the Coppa Italia.
A six day break is of course more than enough to restore a player’s condition, especially if tomorrow’s match they play at home. So far Perugia has only lost 1 time, from Cittadella who currently occupies the runner-up position, while the remaining 4 wins and 2 times. This amount is pocketed after bulldozing Pescara 3-1 earlier this month.
Turning to the enemy camp, Cosenza will arrive morally down due to failing to win in three consecutive matches, namely against Trapani (2-2), Ascoli Calcio (3-2), and Spezia (1-1). This crisis also threw them to number 18 with just two points from the caretaker position.
Last season Cosenza managed to surprise him by stealing a 0-1 win at Renato through a Mirko Bruccini penalty. However, this visit is predicted to be more difficult because their condition is worsening, while the host is so consistent when appearing on home turf. Furthermore, this opportunity will be used by Perugia to open the gap up to the runner-up position by a difference of three points from the order of 6.
