Foggia's mission? Accelerate away from home.

Only one point in four away games so far. Foggia, on the road, is struggling. Delio Rossi's team needs a boost in their next match, scheduled for tomorrow at 2:30 PM at the municipal stadium in Caravaggio. The match against Atalanta Under 23 is already shaping up to be a crucial relegation battle. These two teams, both in the lower-middle of the Serie C standings, will face each other. The Rossoneri have earned six points from their first seven matches and are just one point clear of the play-off zone. Atalanta's under-23s, meanwhile, are second-to-last with four points.

Foggia faces its second consecutive away test, following last Monday's defeat in the late game at Picerno. This defeat ended the "Satanelli"'s positive streak, which had already earned three draws. However, a win at home for the Rossoneri has been a month, and tomorrow's match holds three crucial points at stake in their bid to stay in the top flight.

Meanwhile, there's been more darkness than light in the Dauni's start to the season. Rossi's squad has so far shown limitations in their play (playing, ball control, and managing the various moments of the game), also due to a lack of courage, quality, and personality in the squad. These shortcomings have been especially evident away from home. The highlight was the shocking debut at Catania, a 6-0 rout that overwhelmed a team that was still incomplete at the time, with many youth players and Serie C debutants, who were subjected to the baptism of fire at the "Massimino" stadium. Then, away from home, came a 1-0 defeat at Giugliano, a goalless draw in the Cerignola derby, and last Monday's 2-1 defeat at Picerno. In Group C of the Lega Pro, only Siracusa and Atalanta Under 23 have fared worse away from home: both have zero points. In Group A, Cittadella also picked up just one point away from home. In Group B, Torres, Pontedera, and Vis Pesaro each earned one point from away games, while Bra earned zero.

Tomorrow's match in Bergamo represents a chance for Foggia to turn things around and relaunch their form, but it won't be easy to face a young team (like the Rossoneri) that is extremely talented both physically and technically. Rossi will try until the end to recover some of the injured players Valietti, Morelli, Castorri, and D'Amico. Bignami's condition remains to be assessed. Rizzo and Petermann, however, will be sidelined for a while. The Rossoneri playmaker is expected to be sidelined for about a month. This will be a significant absence, given that Moroccan Byar is also missing, who is playing at the Under-20 World Cup with his country's national team. The "Satanelli" will depart for Lombardy this afternoon by train. The trip has been a challenging one, with flights from Gino Lisa being suspended due to financial problems at the Greek airline Lumiwings and the railway staff strike today.

In Caravaggio, organized Foggia fans will not be in the stands, in protest against the B teams. "In the lower leagues, we still struggle and struggle to represent a nostalgic style of football, far removed from convenient interests and the logic of lobbies, closer to what we might call territorial," AC Milan supporters explained in a statement. "The plan to 'sacrifice' more and more third-tier teams to allow the establishment of B teams of the most renowned brands cannot leave us helpless and passive. Therefore, as Foggia Ultras, we will take a hostile and combative stance in order to safeguard those few glimmers of authentic footballing tradition that are characteristic of third-tier football."
