Cosenza hosts Perugia in round 23 of Italian Serie B. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 15th at Stadio San Vito (Cosenza)
Cosenza had to leave Serie B according to the results of the last draw, as the team took 17th place. But non-sporting factors intervened: Chievo was sent to Serie D and deprived of professional status because of tax debts. And the vacant vacancy was given to Cosenza that was already preparing for relegation. But the club didn’t manage to step up, and it is among the worst again. The Wolves scored two times less than conceded, and it is not surprising that there are few points. After the victory over Ternana, which was gained back on October 27, a protracted winless streak began. Against this background, draws against Cittadella, Brescia, and even Virtus Vicenza looked like a success.

Perugia used to be a tough middle peasant in Serie A (there was even a victory in the Intertoto Cup and a couple of starts in the UEFA Cup), but it is actually spending the first year at the level of the second division after a long pause. Back in 2010, there was another bankruptcy, and only now the Griffins managed to regain their place in Serie B. But despite the status of an actual debutant, the team shows quite decent results. Yes, there are not many goals, and a third of them were scored by Manuel de Luca, but Perugia looks quite confident in defense (19 goals conceded). Of course, the team is not among the leaders. But the regulations stipulate that as many as six teams will play in the playoffs. And the Griffins may well be among them. After a 3-0 victory over Frosinone, they took eighth place.
These clubs played nine head-to-head matches. And six of them ended in draws. In particular, the teams did not determine the winner in September when Cosenza held a 1-1 draw with one man down. Now Cosenza is in crisis, and Perugia has gained momentum. We bet on the victory of the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Perugia to win
