Massa plays host to Gioia as both team have one same target: the three points. Following the severe loss against Bologna, the club took the painful decision to sack coach Cantagalli. Massa starts over with Gheorge Cretu and the will from everyone to overcome the bad spell that seemed to be over after the good performances against Cavriago and Ravenna. Massa is now four points from 10th place. Its next opponent, Gioia, lost its last encounter against Padova, and is currently last from bottom and therefore desperate to get points.
