PREVIEW - Zena Caput Mundi

When the sides met in reverse fixtures back in December 2008, the game reached its worst possible climax as a few punches flew in amidst a preposterous brawl sparked by Zena CM's players for what they describes as an abusive gesture by Matteo Bovalino, who ended up paying over the odds for such a mishap, with a two game ban.
That game also market Daniele De Maria's debut, and thus far his only appearance for the club, but the left winger was also sent off for a debatable elbowing of an opponent.
Incidentally, Dunfermline mauled Zena Caput Mundi by 4 goals to 1 on that occasion, with Alberto Buccianti collecting a wonderful hat-trick and Aldo Marletta adding to the scoreline.
Dunfermline currently sit fourth in the league table, level on points but with a deficit in direct encounters with Anni Settanta, whereas Zena are second bottom albeit only 2 points adrift of the playoff zone.

Manager Leonardo Perugini is likely to be able to count once again on full options for Sunday's tie, with Marco Semino expected to soldier on in goal and Davide Filippi, Fabio Frassinelli and Fausto Crosetti all available in defence.
In midfield, Mattia Maneschi should return to the fold after sitting out the WLF game, adding his name to those of Aldo Marletta, Fabio Boccaccio, Marco Cantelli and Matteo Bovalino for selection.
Alberto Buccianti will most probably be involved just as usual.
