LATEST FROM MILAN FUTURO
This will be the final midweek fixture for Oddo's side, following the earlier postponement due to several Rossoneri players being called up for international duty. The current form is undoubtedly positive, with Milan Futuro riding a run of six consecutive unbeaten matches. The record is even more impressive away from home, where their last defeat dates back to 23 November. Several players are enjoying strong spells, including Lorenzo Ossola, who was the match-winner in the reverse fixture.
LATEST FROM REAL CALEPINA
It has been a mixed period for the side from Grumello del Monte. They have suffered two consecutive away defeats in the last two matchdays (3-1 against Caldiero Terme and 1-0 against Oltrepò) after back-to-back victories against Virtus CiseranoBergamo and ChievoVerona. Points are needed to move away from the playout zone, where the Bergamo side currently sit. Real Calepina are a team with a clear tactical identity - typically a three-man defence, with a midfield that can set up with either five or four, around two attacking midfielders. Their squad is also notably young, with all players available to coach Joelson being under-30. An interesting stat: after recording five draws in the first half of the season, only one match in the return fixtures has ended level - the 2-2 draw against Villa Valle on 6 January.
