The team had excellent start of the season but now they are on 14-match streak without a single win, recording only five draws and nine defeats. On top of that, former leaders of season are now in relegation zone, occupying 17th place in the standings with big chances to start the next season is Serie B. The team starts their path in the domestic cup from this stage and they should be focused only on a victory that should end such unpleasant run of results.
