Giallorossi looking to make the most of their home advantage in a key moment of the season.

This Sunday, the Benelli Stadium will become the beating heart of Ravenna’s passion as it hosts a clash that promises excitement and intensity: Ravenna FC versus Pistoiese. Two teams that arguably represent the best rosters in Serie D will face off in a head-to-head that could have significant implications for the group standings. Both sides, after a less-than-brilliant start to the season, have found new momentum under their respective new managers. Now, they come into the match in top form, ready to leave everything on the pitch.
Ravenna enters this match riding high after securing the top spot in the standings, tied with Forlì and Tau Altopascio, following a hard-fought draw on Tuttocuoio’s tough ground. Their opponents, Pistoiese, are on an unstoppable run, riding the wave of five consecutive victories and trailing by just five points. They aim to reignite their title bid with this crucial clash at the top—a true test of strength for both teams.
Ravenna faces some challenges, however, as head coach Marco Marchionni will have to navigate several key absences. Midfielder Lordkipanidze, who previously wore Pistoiese’s colors, is suspended, and Amoabeng, Mereghetti, and Drapelli are out due to injuries. On the bright side, Venturini, another former Pistoiese player, is back in action and ready to contribute. On the visitors’ side, their captain Lorenzo Polvani, a standout defender for Ravenna three seasons ago, will be a key figure for the orange and blue.
But this game is about more than just tactics or strategy—it’s a showdown loaded with meaning. The rivalry between these two sides runs deep, heightened by last season’s events when Pistoiese’s exclusion denied Ravenna the chance to compete in a promotion playoff earned on the field. This has only added fuel to an already fiery matchup.
A remarkable crowd is expected at the Benelli, drawn by the emotions and connections that only football can create. It’s the perfect moment for Ravenna fans to rally behind their team, turning the stadium into a cauldron of passion and showing what it truly means to be part of this great family. This is a match that promises to linger in everyone’s hearts and could prove to be a defining moment of the season.
