PESCARA v MILAN FUTURO: MATCH PREVIEW

Initially scheduled for the middle of October, Milan Futuro are set to face Pescara at 20:45 CET on Thursday 21 November in a clash that was rearranged due to international commitments. A big showdown and a tough away test for the Rossoneri, who, after their home draw with Arezzo, will be taking on the league leaders. Here is our Match Preview to introduce the clash.

LATEST FROM MILAN FUTURO
After not playing at the weekend, the Rossoneri will be looking to build on the positives they displayed in the 2-2 draw at home to Arezzo. Despite conceding late on, our lads were lively and showed more conviction in attack, while Longo scored his first of the season and Jiménez (suspended for the Adriatico clash) was a constant threat. The table currently doesn't make for good reading, even if it's very tight, and Coach Bonera's side could move towards the playoff zone if they win their games in hand. Minotti is back from suspension.

LATEST FROM PESCARA
33 points, ten wins: Pescara are leading the way in Group B. Experience, strength and aiming for promotion after falling short in the play-offs last season. They haven't scored a lot of goals so far, and have often edged out their opponents by narrow margins. They recently slipped up in Pesaro and drew 0-0 away to Arezzo at the weekend, but they've undoubtedly enjoyed a positive campaign to date. Coach Baldini favours a 4-3-3 formation, with former Rossoneri Plizzari between the sticks and Brosco captaining the side. Pescara don't have a real goalscorer, but Ferraris, De Marco and Merola all provide a threat.
