FRIENDLY - Dunfermline v Carrapippi

GENOVA - Dunfermline will continue their pre-season preparation with a friendly tie against Division C outfit Carrapippi, scheduled to take place on Wednesday 30th September, kick-off 10 pm.
The teams were close to meeting one another a couple of seasons back, but Carrapippi lost a penalty shoot-out to Amici di Berto at the Division C roound of 16 stage, with the Arenzano-based outfit progressing to the quarter finals, where they were beaten by the Pars in the club's history biggest game to date, the one that marked the Fifers' access to the Division B and broke Berto's hearts, although Berto did make amends a year later, and they will actually feature in the second tier of AICS football this forthcoming season.

However, the game on Wednesday will be a good occasion for Dunfermline to step up their form and fitness, considering the Liguria Cup tie against Rivar Plate is fast approaching.
Semino should be back between the sticks, after Perugini was given the shirt in the past two games, and all defenders look set to feature. Merello, Filippi, Frassinelli and Crosetti will therefore fight it out for two starting berths.
Marletta, Bovalino and Cantelli will all be at the gaffer's disposal, while Finotti's presence isn't a certainty just yet, mainly owing to back spasms who have affected his performance and fitness against Dinamo Brasca.
Hopefully, he'll get his minor injury concerns duly sorted out sooner rather than later, as his has been a valuable presence on the pitch whenever called upon.
Ducco hasn't yet confirmed his presence for the tie either.
Rossi, unless busy on working duties, should also feature, whereas the big news could be represented by the possible return to the fold of striker Buccianti, who has so far been unavailable and hasn't played a minute in a red shirt this term.
