Ortona - Fano
Italy - A3, 22/04/2023
Promotion final to A2. Game 2.
We'll say it right away, we're rooting for the Abruzzese! Having just been relegated to A3 after twenty years in A2 and A1, this championship is too small for Ortona. They've been neck and neck for first and second place throughout the championship, with a new opposite and a hard-fought victory in Game 1 in Fano.
Today, Ortona, with athletes like Leonel Marshall among their ranks, plays for promotion. If they win Game 2, the Abruzzese will return to A2 today, in front of their own fans. Ortona arrives at the game in good form, after an away victory, and with much higher morale than Fano, who has lost both Game 1 and home advantage, initially in favor of Fabbroni and his teammates.
Fano is certainly not a team that will give up easily, but even if they lose, they will have another chance to try for promotion to A2 against the winners of the promotion pool.
We don't want to go on too long. Ortona is the favorite for us. The opportunity to bring the A2 series back in front of their fans (including the ultras) is too tempting to pass up.
The verdict will come at 8:30 PM!
