PREVIEW - Anni Settanta

A few rules are likely to be drafted within Dunfermline Athletic Football Club over the next few days, so as to avoid any recurrences of the ill-fated circumstances that surrounded the encounter against Moranego, prior to which at least 12 members of the squad had declared themselves available for the tie, the number of player then slowly getting trimmed to a minimum 7 with no notice of absence received from Flavio Lenza and a short one coming from Maneschi.
That being said, the game was duly won by The Pars, which will surely help clear-the-air talks due tonight between club captain Aldo Marletta and manager Leonardo Perugini.
Perugini himself could well be deployed in goal in the vital game against Anni Settanta on Sunday, as Marco Semino will be otherwise engaged and it is unclear whether Marco Franzone, formerly of Praese and Sestrese, might be a serious candidate for a shock signing aimed at providing cover for the club's No 1 goalkeeper until the end of the season, whenever required.
In defence, Davide Filippi's fitness shall be verified following his minor street accident which kept him out of the Moranego game, whilst both Fabio Frassinelli and Fausto Crosetti both delivered excellent performances in that game and will be surely involved.
In the middle of the park, Matteo Bovalino should return to the fold following his exclusion last Sunday, and will be picked alongside Aldo Marletta, Fabio Boccaccio and Marco Cantelli, the involvement of Flavio Lenza and Mattia Maneschi still under scrutiny following their last minute absences against Moranego.
Upfront, the usual reassuring presence of Alberto Buccianti will dominate the scene.

The only previous encounter between the sides date back to earlier this season, as The Pars were taught a harsh lesson, as they were overpowered by 6 goals to 3 despite taking an early lead through Marletta. Crosetti scored his first, and thus far only, goal for the club to reduce Dunfermline's arrears, before Maneschi delivered a peach of a goal which only proved mere consolation.
Other time, other story, as Dunfermline are now unbeaten in 9 and a win on Sunday, together with a draw or a Massacroni victory over Moranego would see The Pars break into the top two for the first time this season.
