PREVIEW - Uruk Hai

Uruk Hai were last Monday the third successive side to inflict a defeat to current table-toppers Moranego who, after a brilliant start consisting of 8 wins in as many league games, have now shown signs of weariness and have been beaten 3 times on the bounce.
Courtesy of that win, Uruk Hai now sit 8th in the group league table, and therefore in the playoff zone, one point ahead of 9th placed Real Bonarda, and 6 points adrift of Dunfermline, actually occupying 4th place in the league courtesy of 4 wins on the trot.

Semino will be back in goal following a permit last week, while Filippi and Crosetti should also return to the squad, leaving Perugini to decide who to deploy amongst them and Frassinelli, who's so far featured in every competitive game for the Pars this season.
In midfield, Lenza is foreseen to sit this one out, while Maneschi is also likely to return to the side, and the selection process will also involve Marletta, Cantelli, Bovalino and Boccaccio, the latter also an outside candidate for the upfront berth as well as the recognised striker Buccianti, back from his duties as well.

The teams have locked horns once before, at the beginning of the present season, with Uruk Hai worthy victors in a tight 2-1 match, Gallo providing a consolation goal for Dunfermline, who also hit the bar late on from a Marletta free-kick.
The hosts will have to do without Fiordaliso and Russo, both banned for two games following a minor fracas in the game against Moranego.
