PREVIEW - Real Sampie


Dunfermline and Real Sampie met earlier this season, when they played out a hard-fought 2-2 draw at Villa Gavotti, courtesy of braces from Martignone for Real and Gallo for the Pars.
Many things have changed within Dunfermline's setup since then, and the lads are now on a 5-game winning streak which has taken them just 3 points shy of an Excellence Playoff berth, whereas Real Sampie, in spite of a few good results of their own, notably an excellent victory over current table toppers Moranego, lie behind, having collected 15 points from their initial 12 games.

As usual, Wednesday is reckoning time, and there would appear to be some abundance at the disposal of gaffer Perugini, with Flavio Lenza the only certain absentee from the crop of players who've been deployed lately. Other than that, all players are available for selection.
Marco Semino should edge player-manager Leonardo Perugini and be deployed in goal, while the defence will be at full potential with Fausto Crosetti, Davide Filippi and Fabio Frassinelli fighting it out for two starting slots.
In midfield, a selection headache is set to return, as Matteo Bovalino, Fabio Boccaccio and Mattia Maneschi all fit, while Aldo Marletta will be on the hunt for his 60th goal for the club and Marco Cantelli is likely to be deployed either on one flank or upfront, where Alberto Buccianti showed great form following his introduction at the interval in the mauling of Uruk Hai last Monday.
