Brescia ended their Serie B regular season with a 2-2 draw away to Palermo almost ten days ago thanks to second half efforts from Pablo Rodriguez and Floria Aye. The Little Swallows ended their league campaign with nine wins, 13 draws and 16 defeats from 38 games. Although Brescia have won just three of their last 15 matches under the stewardship of Daniele Gastaldello, their last triumph came against Thursday’s opponents at the start of May courtesy of second-half efforts from Adryan and Andrea Cistana. In fact, the Lioness have prevailed in four of their last five meetings against Consenza at Stadio Mario Rigamonti. Meanwhile, the White and Blues haven’t been very great at home this term, having taken 24 points from a possible 57.
Consenza, on the other hand, have the worst away-record in the second tier this season, with just 12 points taken from their 19 games on the road. Therefore, William Viali’s men have their work cut to get a result at Brescia. Lupi won just two away-games on their travels this season, and only one side (Modena) lost more away-matches than Wolves’s 11 throughout the 2022-23 campaign. Not many would have expected Red-Blues to take a 1-0 lead in the tie, having not tasted a single win in their final seven league-matches. Nevertheless, Lupi are not fancied to come out on top on Thursday, having recorded six defeats, three draws and one win from their last ten meetings against the Little Swallows.
Brescia probable starting lineup: Andrenacci, Karacic, Cistana, Mangraviti, Huard, Bisoli, Labojko, Bjorkengren, Listkowski, Aye, Rodriguez
Consenza Calcio probable starting lineup: Micai, Martino, Meroni, Rigione, D’Orazio, Brescianini, Voca, Florenzi, Zilli, Nasti, D’Urso
