Guidonia - AS Ostia Mare

Guidonia bring back Ginestra as coach after parting with Lopez

Guidonia have ended their relationship with coach Giovanni Lopez and brought Ciro Ginestra back in his place. Sporting director Fabrizio Lucchesi described the decision as a difficult one, made by the club and its ownership. Ginestra takes over where Lopez left off.

Ginestra inherits a side seventh in the Italian Serie C with 20 points from 13 matches: five wins, five draws and three defeats. Guidonia are at home to AS Ostia Mare in the Italian Serie C, and the visitors are 18th on nine points. In their last five matches, Guidonia won at Sambenedettese and against Forli, drew with Perugia and Pescara, and lost at Sassari Torres. They have not lost at home this season, with four wins and three draws.

Arresting the slide now the priority for AS Ostia Mare

None of AS Ostia Mare's last 4 matches has yielded so much as a point.

Having won 4 at home without defeat, Guidonia can claim a record of real authority. Clean sheets are overdue for the hosts, who have been scored against in all of their last 5 matches. Nothing more than a goal divided the two sides when the hosts beat US Sambenedettese 2-1. With the bottom three their current home, AS Ostia Mare sit 18 of 20. Short of a cutting edge of late, the visitors have been shut out in successive fixtures.

Points tell a one-sided story between Guidonia and AS Ostia Mare, Guidonia leading by 11.
