Milan Futuro challenges Spal: safety or relegation to Serie C?

Judgement day has arrived. Today at 20pm the Milan Futuro challenge the Spal in Ferrara in the return match of the playout. After a troubled season to say the least, the Rossoneri will discover their destiny. Serie C o Series D. Salvation or relegation. Danger averted or almost total failure. But the team of Oddo can be the master of its own destiny. After the fundamental 1-0 success obtained in the first leg, today in Emilia a draw will be enough to secure permanence in the category. Obviously, net of the starting advantage, today's challenge is not a trivial one. Even the opposing fans will be an element not to be underestimated. The Paolo Mazza stadium will, in fact, be invaded by local fans (approaching over 10.000), in a last-ditch attempt to support a historic club like Spal in its hardest moment of the last 13 years. Milan is therefore called upon to repeat the great performance, especially on a tactical and mental level, made last Saturday. Many times this year the Rossoneri have sinned in character and experience, but in the final part of the season with Oddo on the bench the team has gained more confidence in its own means. In terms of formation, there should be no changes compared to the first leg: the 11 starters who took to the field in Solbiate are confirmed.

On the absentee front, there is only one new development: in addition to Camarda and Jimenez (by regulation), Coubis and D'Alessio are still out due to injury, while the only recovery is that of Magrassi. The centre forward will start from the bench and will represent a possible substantial addition during the match. In attack, the 'false nine' duo of Ianesi and Traorè has been confirmed. There seems to be every chance of survival. At Casa Milan, however, the breath will be held for ninety minutes. The first team's season has already proved to be negative: seeing the meaning of the Under 23 project fade away after just one year would be yet another certificate of failure for RedBird.

Probable formation (3-5-2): Nava; Minotti, Camporese, Bartesaghi; Traorè, Ianesi. Coach Oddo.
