PREVIEW - A Selesiun

Dunfermline will be looking to beat A Selesiun for a third consecutive time this season, having disposed of their Sunday's opponents twice before during the course of the regular league campaign.
Goals from Maneschi and Ganduglia settled the tie in November, whereas it took a last gasp Buccianti winner for Dunfermline to edge a 13 goal thriller, while a further goal from the Tuscan himself, a further brace from Cantelli and a Boccaccio hat-trick marked a 7-6 win.
This time out, it's going to be either make or break for both sides, A Selesiun having lost their opening playoff game to Real Chupito by 5 goals to 1.
Only the eventual leaders of the 3-club group will authomatically progress to the next stage of the finals, and the Pars will therefore need to kickstart their promotion quest with a win, and the wider the margin the better, before facing Chupito in the showdown scheduled to take place a week on Sunday.

The Pars will be at full strength, with both Semino and Perugini available for the goalkeeping post, while the full defensive package will be raring to go and two shirts will be assigned amongst Frassinelli, Filippi and Crosetti.
In midfield, Cantelli, Bovalino, Marletta and Boccaccio will fight it out for three berths, while Buccianti is widely expected to be given the nod upfront.
