Feralpisalo, Reggiana and Catanzaro, by winning first place in their groups (A, B and C), placed directly into the second tier of Italian football. However, the battle for the remaining fourth place in Serie B is in progress, and the play-off stage has reached the quarter-finals.
On Wednesday, the second legs of the fourth round of the playoffs are played, and one of the teams that will fight for entry among the top eight are players of Entella and Pescara. The Dolphins, even though they had a one-goal deficit for more than an hour (at the same time they remained with 10-men on the field from the 67th minute), managed to turn around and gain a minimal advantage before the second leg - 2-1.
Entella vs Pescara Betting Tips: X2 (Double chance)
Entella, a team that made a very good impression during the league part of the season and was one step away from direct promotion to Serie B, is playing very poorly after that. Of the three games played in the playoff phase, the club from Liguria suffered two defeats, while Gubbio barely managed to eliminate from the third round of the same.
What certainly stands out is the fact that holes have appeared in the defensive zone from Entella in recent weeks. Their back line has been broken in each of the last five competitive challenges and we clearly doubt that the coach will Gennaro Volpe managed to patch the holes, because they are facing an offensively powerful team.
Ending the regular part of the season with 65 won points and 11 losses after 38 rounds is not a result that Pescara could boast about. However, The Dolphins managed to find their winning rhythm at the best possible moment, so it's no wonder that they travel to Chiavari with high optimism - wanting to continue swimming towards Serie B.
What especially gives them hope for placing among the best eight in the playoffs is the fact that the offensive line of Pescara seems killer. In the last nine games, they shaken the opponent's net at least twice in as many as eight battles. Consequently, we are of the opinion that The White and Blues from Abruzzo have the potential to avoid defeat and secure the semi-finals of the Serie C playoffs.

In addition to unstable results, Entella also has personnel problems. Namely, Marco Chiosa, Michele Pellizzer, Luca Barlocco, Joshua Tenkorang and Leonardo Morosini are still absent due to injuries.
Manager Gennaro Volpe, displeased with the performance of some players in the first leg of the play-off quarter-finals, is likely to make a number of changes to the starting line-up for Wednesday's clash.

Pescara team news
Centre-back Ivan Mesik earned his second yellow card in the playoff phase over the weekend, which means that he will have to serve one match of the suspension. He will most likely be replaced by Riccardo Brosco.
One of the problems for Czech strategist Zdenek Zeman will be the absence of the best scorer. 26-year-old Facundo Lescano was red-carded last time out and will miss the second leg against Entello.
