MILAN FUTURO v RIMINI: MATCH PREVIEW

Matchday 24 in the league for Milan Futuro, who welcome Rimini to Stadio Felice Chinetti in Solbiate Arno. A delicate challenge and crucial turning point for us, given the need to collect points: primarily to climb the standings, but also to regain confidence after a difficult period. We will take to the field at 15:00 CET on Sunday 26 January, here is our preview for the match.  

LATEST FROM MILAN FUTURO
This week, the team welcomed Ettore Quirini, a defender who arrived from Lucchese, who joined the other new arrivals from the Winter transfer window, such as Camporese, Ianesi and Magrassi. Ianesi and Magrassi have already scored their first goals for the Rossoneri. Experience but also freshness, in preparation for a challenging second half of the season and, hopefully, a comeback. The signs from the Ascoli match were positive, a win would've been a fair result, but the team are alive and now dreaming of getting the three points that have eluded them since the beginning of December and validate the hard work put in over the past few weeks. 

Simone Ianesi had this to say ahead of the game: "I hope to bring as many goals and win as many points as I can. I'm really pleased. We can help out a lot in terms of our experience so that these guys, who've only just started playing men's football, can develop."

LATEST FROM RIMINI
It is also a difficult time for Antonio Buscè's Rimini side, who have not won since 7 December (5-1 against Pontedera). They have three points in their last four matches, following three draws and a defeat. So far in 2025, they have been defeated by Virtus Entella (2-1) and had two 0-0 draws against Pescara and Lucchese. However, three points have eluded them since their last away match, on December 1 against Campobasso, as they lost 2-1. The standings still remain positive for the Romagnoli, as they currently sit in ninth, a position which would guarantee them access to the play-offs, four points above Ascoli. It's worth highlighting the unfortunate midweek result in Coppa Italia - 0-0 in the second-leg of the semi-final against Trapani, which could've brought the team a valuable boost.
