Prediction
We believe that Cosenza will need to exert a lot of pressure in order to score against this Reggina team, who we believe will likely score their own goal in a successful performance. Because of this, we anticipate a fierce competition, with Reggina holding a 0-1 advantage at halftime. This one has little.
