Potenza - Scafatese

Scafatese Told Manzi Could Be Out Until Season's End

Scafatese are reportedly facing a long wait for Manzi, who was expected to be a starter this season. According to a report, he will probably return only at the end of the campaign. Bacchetti, Toscano and Palmieri have also had injury stops.

Palmieri, one of those three, has played 898 minutes in 12 matches this season, scoring three goals and providing no assists. Scafatese go away to Potenza in the Italian Serie C as the fourth-placed side in the 20-team table, with 21 points from 13 matches. On their travels they have won once, drawn five times and lost once. Over their last five matches they won twice, drew twice and lost once, most recently beating Audace Cerignola 4-1.

5 without defeat underlines Potenza's durability

Durability is the defining feature of Potenza's recent form, with 5 matches unbeaten.

As things stand, Potenza occupy the top spot with 32 points. Adding 3 assists to 6 goals, Luca Petrungaro gives the hosts a finisher and a provider in one.

Scafatese can rely on Michele Emmausso for goals, the tally having reached 5. On the evidence of their 4-1 win over Audace Cerignola, the visitors are capable of decisive football.

Any comparison of the two sides starts with the 11 points by which Potenza lead.
