While not being able to count on the same appeal as professional leagues, the Series D it is an absolutely fun and exciting tournament. Every year the football realities from every area of Italy, even the smallest ones, battle it out to take flight towards Serie C, the first step of professionalism.
This year, then, divided among the 9 groups that make up the category, there are also some fallen nobles such as Avellino, Bari, Cesena and Modena to make an already very exciting championship even more spectacular.
24th round, Picerno visits Nardò
The twenty-fourth day of D-series, on paper, it seems favorable above all for Picerno and Audace Cerignola, respectively engaged in the home of Nardò and Nola, two formations located on the right side of the standings. Taranto, on the other hand, will be on stage in the derby with Andria at the Stadio degli Ulivi, a much more demanding match, given that the white and blue company occupies fourth place alone with 8 points behind the third in the standings.
If you wanted to try your luck with these teams, you'd be spoiled for choice: just take a look at the Serie D odds, using specialized portals such as Eurobet. On this site there is a lot of information, in addition to useful numbers for the game: curiosities and statistics that increase involvement and interest in sport and betting. For the meeting Nardo – AZ Picerno (February 17th at 15:00), for example, the big favorites to win the match – as can be deduced from the information found – will be the guests, engaged in the fight for promotion. The odds for the hypothetical victory of Salento are much higher.
Who could make the most of this round is AZ Picerno: the Lucan team coached by coach Domenico Giacomarro is in second place in the standings and will visit Nardò which instead occupies tenth place. The two teams are separated by a 19-point gap which expresses the existing technical gap well.
To get an even clearer idea of why the Picerno is Favourite, we must also take into account the two primates boasted by the rossoblu in Group I, i.e. the best attack in the group with 45 goals scored and the best away performance thanks to a roadmap of 7 wins, 4 draws and only 1 defeat in 12 matches.
Before the victory against Ercolanese, bottom of Group I, Nardò came from a long winless period (9 rounds with 4 draws and 5 defeats in a row) and despite two wins out of three in the last home matches against Picerno , for the race on February 17, he seems to have little chance.
Three-way promotion fight in Group H
Again by way of example, Group H can be taken into consideration, the central-southern grouping in which mainly teams are inserted bells e Puglia (where, however, there is no Bari for reasons of public order). In Group H the fight for first place, a placement which at the end of the regular season guarantees direct promotion to Serie C, seems to mainly concern three teams, namely Taranto, AZ Picerno and Audace Cerignola, respectively first, second and third strength in the championship.
In fourth place – albeit several lengths away from the leading group – is instead Fidelis Andria (a company that also went through bankruptcy and a re-foundation during last summer) which will probably compete for a placement in the playoff with formations such as Savoia, Altamura and Bitonto.
