Brescia’s Serie B status is at stake when they play host to Cosenza Calcio in Thursday’s relegation playoff final at Stadio Mario Rigamonti. The Little Swallows were defeated 1-0 in the reverse fixture in Calabria on May 25, and they face demotion to the third tier if they do not reverse the deficit.
Having ended 16th in Serie B, Daniele Gastaldello was aware of the challenge facing him over both encounters with Cosenza, who finished the regular season in 17th place. Brescia had intended for Gastaldello to steer them away from danger after his February appointment, but the 39-year-old has led the Little Swallows to three victories in 14 league games in the regular season.
Last week’s loss at Cosenza means the new boss’ run now reads just three wins in 15, and the least number that gives Brescia a chance at survival is a fourth victory. Two of the Lombardy outfit’s wins under Gastaldello have been at the Rigamonti, giving fans hope even if the broader results under the man at the helm have been average.
