The Serie A2 is facing its first of six midweek rounds scheduled this season. Still alone at the top, Santa Croce travels to Città di Castello, currently fifth just three points behind. Winners last Sunday, Ravenna, Padova and Sora, second, third and fourth, will go after the top position as they respectively travel to Pineto, Mantova and Milan. After three consecutive losses, Loreto will try to bounce back against Reggio Emilia, which, on the contrary to Loreto, is full of confidence after three wins in a row. Still without a win, Ricci’s Segrate team heads to Isernia for its second consecutive away game after Reggio Emilia. The two Brazilians Ronaldo and Temponi are still doubtful because of injury. Gela is back in its gym, where it gathered 6 of its 8 points, as it hosts Genova, which should have Di Franco back. Finally, Perugia and Club Italia will fight it out for valuable points in an attempt to move back up the table.
