PREVIEW - WLF

Dunfermline slipped to eighth following their second successive defeat at the hands of Anni Settanta, whilst WLF leapfrogged the Pars to seventh place, having collected a valuable away win over Division B new boys A Selesiun.
Last time Dunfermline had collected back-to-back losses dated back to the very beginning of the 2007/2008 promotion winning season, when Compagnia delle Indie and Las Cuevas, albeit following different paths, had left the Pars with no points from their two initial league games.

On Sunday, Dunfermline will be able to count on Marco Semino, who's widely foreseen to stage his comeback in goal following his two-game absence against Moranego and Anni Settanta, whereas the full package of defenders will most probably be available to manager Leonardo Perugini, who will select from Fabio Frassinelli, Davide Filippi, Fausto Crosetti and Alberto Pittaluga.
Aldo Marletta, Mattia Maneschi, Matteo Bovalino and Federico Gallo appear as the available options for the midfield berths, with both Flavio Lenza and Enrico Miroglio, the latter yet to make his debut for the club, ruled out with their niggling injuries.
Alberto Buccianti should be guaranteed a starting slot upfront, as he's at the moment the only out and out recognised striker.

Talking about Buccianti, the first-ever encounter between Dunfermline and WLF, dating back to the 2006/2007 season, marked the Tuscan striker's debut for the club, albeit in his capacity of manager, during the course of an unfortunate season which saw WLF attain promotion to Division B and The Pars failing to make the playoffs.
Moreover, Frassinelli's debut also came in that very match, a narrow defeat by one goal to nil that Fabio could've evened up had his spectacular overhead kick found the back of the net.
When the sides met in reverse fixtures later that season, though, Dunfermline caused a major upset by defeating WLF, then table-toppers, by 3 goals to 1, with Bovalino, Malvezzi and Satta on the score-sheet.
That game will be best remembered, unfortunately, for the fracas caused by WLF's Cicio, who elbowed Marletta thus dislocating his jaw, before being sent off for yet another incident also involving Luigi Langella.
Only the promptness of WLF's captain Filippo Tardito prevented events from going from bad to worse, but this season's fixture will start from a clean sheet in respect to those incidents.
