At the "Domenico Francioni" stadium, Latina-Siracusa is a match valid for the thirty-second day of Group C. Kick-off is scheduled for 14:30. This match is crucial for survival as Latina seeks points to distance themselves from the relegation playoff zone, while Siracusa is called to a real feat to avoid direct relegation.

The Siracusa - driven by its fans (in the true sense of the term since the supporters contributed to the organization of the trip to Lazio gathered in the committee "United for Siracusa") with seventy-three supporters following at the "Francioni", despite the corporate difficulties and the six-point penalty, is trying to hold on to the category. Turati's team has earned seven points in the last three matches thanks to victories against Casertana and Giugliano and a draw against Casarano. A strong signal from a group that continues to fight despite an increasingly complicated corporate situation.
