MILAN FUTURO v PESCARA: MATCH PREVIEW
Pescara are on the menu for Milan Futuro's Sunday Lunch, on Serie C matchday 28. It is a match which will be an important but difficult test, just like the previous and future matches. Making calculations is not needed, gaining points is more important. We prepare for kick-off with our usual Match Preview. LATEST FROM MILAN FUTURO Coach Bonera's Rossoneri have to keep marching forward, but also while looking behind them and returning to the form shown at the start of the month. The win against Ferrara showed the true strength of the group, after gaining reinforcements in the Winter transfer window. Results against SPAL, and then Ascoli and Rimini prior to that showed signs of progress and raised hopes, but then losses against Lucchese and Pianese - the most recent narrow defeat caused by a conceded penalty and Camporese's early red card (now suspended) - delivered a negative blow. The team need to raise their level of focus to the maximum in order to improve their performances and turn key moments into positive moments, whilst also looking for more attacking sharpness, as goals have been lacking for a while. LATEST FROM PESCARA It's also been a difficult period for Gli Abruzzesi. In the first meeting between the sides this season, Pescara faced the Rossoneri as league leaders, winning convincingly, but now they sit in fifth, still in the play-off zone but eleven points off the top of the table. Since the end of 2024, Baldini's side have dropped their pace a bit, a trend that has become even more evident since the Winter break: just one win - away at Carpi - in the past two months, alongside four defeats and five draws. Last weekend, they were defeated at home by Ascoli, a 1-2 loss with the decisive blow coming in stoppage time, despite Pierozzi's opener. Their need for redemption will be undeniable.

PIANESE v MILAN FUTURO: MATCH PREVIEW
Back in training again and ready to react. Milan Futuro want to put their home loss to Lucchese behind them and get back to winning ways. Their next match is on Saturday 15 February at 15:00 CET against Pianese on matchday 27 in Group B of Serie C Now. It will be a challenge against a team in great form, who haven't lost at home since the start of December. Determined to fight back, let's prepare for kick-off with our Match Preview. LATEST FROM MILAN FUTURO This week's big news is the addition of Mauro Tassotti to Coach Bonera's staff. His experience as a Milanista will definitely help the team to bounce back. The home defeat against Lucchese interrupted a positive string of results (1W, 2D), and it will no doubt motivate the Rossoneri to get back to winning ways. The signs have been largely positive, especially following the away win at Ferrara, and the boys have to restore this feeling. The squad was boosted in the Winter transfer market, and the aim is to get as far up the table as possible and to escape the relegation play-offs. A strong performance is definitely needed against Pianese and the Rossoneri are ready to turn the tide after training hard at Milanello throughout the week. LATEST FROM PIANESE The Tuscans sit seventh in the table, equal with Pineto on 38 points. Pianese is one of the most in-form teams at the moment, racking up four wins in their last five. Their current manager is Alessandro Vittorio Formisano who started the season at Perugia, but he was fired after their defeat to Milan Futuro on 27 October last year. This will only fuel his desire to win the match. Guglielmo Mignani is the Tuscans main scorer with twelve goals so far this season. Federico Mastropietro has also had a good season with seven goals. Formisano commented: "Milan Futuro are a quality side, and they've dropped points despite dominating games: the table doesn't reflect their season. It will be a tough match to play, there are many challenges". WHERE TO WATCH MILAN FUTURO ON TV In Italy, the game will be broadcast live on Sky Sport and NOW TV.
