Perugia’s recent victory against Ascoli has significantly worsened Milan Futuro’s situation. The Rossoneri club, currently near the bottom of Serie C Group B, is now in danger of being directly relegated to Serie D. This is because if the point gap between the second-to-last and fifth-to-last team exceeds 8 points, the playout matches to avoid relegation might not take place. In such a scenario, the second-to-last team would be automatically relegated to Serie D.
Milan Futuro is currently in the second-to-last position with 22 points, nine points behind Lucchese, who are fifth-to-last.
Adding to the tension, Milan Futuro is scheduled to play against Perugia this Saturday. This match is crucial for coach Massimo Oddo, who is seeking his first victory with the team. He needs to quickly put behind them the recent defeat against Legnago, where despite taking an early lead and having a numerical advantage, they failed to secure any points.
For this vital match, the presence of young talents like Francesco Camarda and Davide Bartesaghi is essential. Camarda, a highly-rated young player, surprisingly did not play in the last match against Lazio, raising questions about his management. Despite a recent goal in a previous match, he had been on a goal drought. Considering the importance of the upcoming game against Perugia, it is expected that Oddo will call upon both Camarda and Bartesaghi, possibly even Mattia Liberali, to strengthen the team. Milan Futuro needs their valuable young players to avoid a defeat that would further complicate their season and their fight to remain in Serie C.
