Cosenza take on the visitors Vicenza in the final match of Serie B play-out. The match will be played on Friday, May 20th at Stadio San Vito (Cosenza).
Cosenza have never played in Serie A in its history. Moreover, they didn’t really pretend to be - the maximum result was 5th place in the 2nd division. And that was in the 90s, after which there was bankruptcy and the restart of the project from a de facto amateur level. Only in 2018, the updated project was able to return to Serie B. Now there is a considerable risk of going down. And before there was such a risk, in the last draw there was 17th place. But then Ascoli went down without play-offs due to unsportsmanlike problems. Now, having gained the same 35 points, "Cosenza" has even risen by 1 line. But now they have to defend the right to remain in the same division as in previous years. Moreover, at the moment the situation is extremely difficult: on May 12, the first match was lost, in Vicenza. True, the defeat was minimal, 0-1, so there is every chance to stay in the Serie B.

Vicenza were good in the late 90s of the last century. Then it turned out to take the only serious trophy, Coppa Italia. And after that they even made it to the semi-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup. But then there were problems, which eventually led to bankruptcy in 2018. However, the restarted project was able to return to the 2nd division of the country very quickly - it took only 2 years. As part of Series B, the first year was not bad: 48 points and 12th place. But the next draw almost ended with a direct flight. The "White-Reds" scored much less points, only 34. And only in terms of additional indicators they managed to get ahead of "Alessandrina". As a result, "Vicenza" took 17th place and got a chance to keep the "registration". On May 12, she hosted Cosenza at home. And yet they put the squeeze on their competitors, taking advantage of their noticeable advantage. In the 90th minute, 40-year-old Maggio, the ex-Napoli player, beaten the goalkeeper and scored the only goal.
Last season, both head-to-heads between the rivals ended in draws, 1-1 each. In the current Cosenza, they managed to win at home 2-1, after which the teams did not score goals in Vicenza. Bookmakers give advantage to Cosenza, who plays at home. The guests will obviously defend a draw, so a bet on the hosts with nil handicap looks like a solid option
Prediction for the match: Cosenza to win with 0.0 handicap.
