MILAN FUTURO v CASATESE MERATE: MATCH PREVIEW

After ChievoVerona, it's time for Casatese Merate. In the run of matches that embody the phrase 'the tests never end', Milan Futuro gears up to take the field again for matchday 21 of the 2025/26 Serie D, scheduled for Sunday 25 January at 14:30 CET. In Solbiate Arno, where they drew with Pavia, the Rossoneri look to keep their momentum while staying on course at the top of the standings. 

LATEST FROM MILAN FUTURO
With the recent crucial 3-1 victory in Verona, away at Chievo, the team has just climbed to second place in Group B, spurring them on for their campaign and the return leg, which has just begun. It was a strong win, thanks to an impressive performance, especially as the match kicked off, featuring three goals in the space of 30 minutes, including a brace from Traorè, who has regained his confidence. With the league's top-scoring attack, a defence still finding its footing, and an overall rollercoaster of performances that, paradoxically, tend to play best in big games. Coach Oddo always stresses the importance of hard work, patience, determination, and focus. 

LATEST FROM CASATESE MERATE
Casatese Merate are positioned just outside the playoff spots. They've had a solid campaign overall, even if coach Commisso's side hasn't won a game since the end of November. Eleven draws in total, a league record, including recent draws that were far from disappointing, such as the 0-0 with ChievoVerona and last weekend's 1-1 with Caldiero Terme. It's worth keeping an eye on the attacking winger Gningue, the leading goal-scorer for the Brianzola side, and striker Avinci, who scored last weekend.
