Dunfermline and Real Sampie have enjoyed a similar start to their league campaign, both losing out to Uruk Hai and A Selesiun respectively.
While Dunfermline are still in the Liguria Cup, though, Real Sampie had suffered an early exit from that competition as well, at the hands of Division C side Carrapippi.
Dunfermline will be without their manager, Leonardo Perugini, on the night, owing to his working duties. Marco Semino will deputise for the gaffer, as goalkeeper Gianluca Lanata will most probably make his second appearance for the club.
All defenders can be picked, and the midfield isn't entirely unlikely to see a couple of new signings' addition, but the real issue remains upfront, as in-form striker Alberto Buccianti is otherwise engaged and will miss the game.
Talks are in the process of being finalised for the double-swoop of Croce Verde Praese attacking midfielders Flavio Lenza and Enrico Miroglio, their availability on Sunday depending on whether AICS gives green light to the transfers.
Dunfermline and Real Sampie have never locked horns before.
