Liberta’s unbeaten run in the last five games of Campionato Sammarinese continues, however, the defeat against Tre Penne (2-0) in the Coppa Titano semi-final was quite drastic.

SC Faetano has certainly lost its rhythm and consistency in the tournament. With four consecutive defeats, SC Faetano is struggling to even secure a draw. However, the upcoming fixture can be an opportunity for the struggling team to make a reasonable comeback. With a goal scoring average of 1.25 goals in away fixtures this season, Faetano can give Libertas a tough time. The away fixtures haven’t been quite acceptable to Faetano as it has a conceding rate of 2.38 goals per game. If Faetano minimizes its conceding rate, we have a terrific game to witness.
