VARESINA v MILAN FUTURO: MATCH PREVIEW

Milan Futuro are back. At 14:30 CET on Sunday 7 December, the Rossoneri take on Varesina at the Elmec Solar Stadium in Venegono Superiore on matchday 15 in Serie D Group B. Milan Futuro go into it in the wake of their 1-1 draw with Brusaporto. Recent performances have been good, even though the results have been mixed. The Rossoneri will need to make a step up if they're to keep pace with the leaders, but they will also need to focus because they were knocked out of the Coppa Italia Serie D by Varesina.

LATEST FROM MILAN FUTURO
Fifth in the table and with ample room for growth, Milan Futuro have shown plenty of technical ability in possession and a knack for creating chances; they now just need to convert them. The order of the day against Varesina is tempo, aggression and precision. Massimo Oddo makes his return to the dug-out after serving a suspension he received against Real Calepina. His aim will be to turn the good performances into points that move the chains.

LATEST FROM VARESINA
Marco Spilli's Varesina alternate between a 4-2-3-1 and a 3-4-3. They are brave and direct. Last time out, they came from behind to beat ChievoVerona 2-1 after two tight defeats - signs of their character. We will need to be aware of the physicality of Dennis Costantino, who has five goals this season and scored against the Rossoneri in the cup. That game should serve as a reminder of the Rossoblù's threat from second balls around the penalty area and from set pieces. The standings might say that Varesina are in trouble, but Spilli's men have shown that they can fight and put in performances which deserve more than their 13 points from 14 matches.
