Primavera: The Final Eight Begins


The waiting for the final eight of the Primavera championship is finally over. Today, in fact, in Trentino, the final phase will kick-off with the first day of quarter-finals on a knockout basis. At 14:00hrs it will be the turn of Chievo-Genoa, while at 21:00hrs in Pergine Valsugana, Juventus will be meeting Palermo.

The rosanero made it to the scudetto pool eliminating Sampdoria who are the current holders by winning 1-0 at home and succumbing to a useless 3-2 defeat in Genova. The Sicilian’s strength is all in their defensive solidity having suffered only 20 goals in the regular season. The attack on the other hand only scored 41 goals.

However, attention must be paid to the Giovio-Misuraca duo which scored 23 goals. Lithuanian player Mchedlidze will not be playing due to an international call-up. He has often been called up with the first team and scored his only goal in the Serie A against Juventus.
