Intense day of football on Easter Monday with Spezia-Cosenza and other crucial challenges for the playoffs and salvation.

All in the field Easter Monday, for a feast that will accompany the traditional barbecue – humid, in our parts –, starting around lunchtime with the appetizer between SudTirol and Bari. The Alto Adige team got bogged down with 2 points in the last 4 games and are back on the verge of the playout. Bari, on the other hand, with the success against Palermo has burst into the grid playoff and will try not to get out. At 15 pm seven more matches will be played, among which the "Picco" match between Spezia e Cosenza.

The "eaglets" are suspended between the suggestion of recovering the seven points of disadvantage on the Nerazzurri and the pragmatism of maintaining the six points distance from Cremonese, currently fourth in the tournament, in view of the hypothetical participation in the promotion playoffs. The Ligurians will find themselves facing an opponent probably at the last resort in the chase for the playouts - with the question mark of the appeal presented to obtain a discount on the 4 penalty points that weigh down their standings - and will return to the field after the comeback of two goals conceded in Mantua. Heart-stopping, in view of salvation, the intersection of the "Tombolato" between Citadel e Salernitana. The Venetians have collected just 5 points in the last 2 and have fallen back into the playouts; the Campanians instead, after the success against SudTirol, have returned to just two points from the play-off train, occupied precisely by their opponents on duty. Match with the same delicacy at the "Rigamonti", where the Brescia will host the Reggiana: in this case the distance separating "rondinelle" (35) and granata (32) is three lengths. The crossing between Juve Stabia e Sampdoria, in their own way the surprises of the tournament: the Campanians are positive and are playing for the best possible position in view of the playoffs; the Blucerchiati - after the electroshock generated by the arrival of the old glories in the technical staff - have found success again after two months and are back to glimpse direct salvation. The other matches of the afternoon are Mantova-Catanzaro, Palermo-Carrarese and Sassuolo-Frosinone. Before the main course, consisting of the night challenge at the Arena, at 17.30:XNUMX the derby between Modena and Cesena will be played: points at stake to close the gap on the playoffs.
