Frosinone lead the way in the race for promotion to Serie B. Three wins out of three is an impressive start for the Lazio based side, but even more impressive was the manor of their win in Lecce at the weekend. A 3-1 away win down south confirmed perhaps that Frosinone will be a side to be reckoned with over the coming season.
In the rounds big game, Brescia defeated Torino to end their 100% record in the division by 1-0 thanks to goal scorer Francesco Flachi. The former Sampdoria ace, who netted over 100 goals for the Genoa based club, gave Brescia the three points to move them up to third place in the division. Could this be the season when Brescia return to Serie A after coming so close over the last two seasons?
Empoli, another yoyo club in Serie B, have given themselves a good start to their campaign by beating Crotone by 3-1, although they left it late to do so by scoring two of their three goals in the last 12 minutes of the game. Ancona are level also with Empoli on six points, picking up their second win of the campaign by beating Bergamo side Albinoleffe again by 3-1.
Ascoli, in Serie A a few seasons back, are perhaps galvanising themselves for a return as they remain undefeated this season by beating Mantova at home by 2-1. Former Arsenal youngster Lupoli converted the winner in the 94th minute after they had equalised in the 89th minute.
Last seasons suprise package Grosetto continue to struggle, managing only a draw at home to Gallipoli while Sassuolo again continue to do well, registering four points so far this campaign.
Reggina, perhaps one of the favourites to go up, are sitting on four points after a win and a draw but have a game in hand against Vicenza, who themselves remain unbeaten registering two draws so far. Indeed, it has been a while since the northern outfit have been in Serie A so perhaps it would be nice to see Vicenza back in the big league.
Piacenza, another side that has been in Serie A since 2002, has so far registered one win and one defeat. With a game in hand against Padova away from home a win here could give them the platform to succeed this campaign.
It looks like it is going to be an interesting season in the Cadetti with a number of teams in contention for promotion for Serie A. Torino in all honesty are likely to return, but will one of the classic clubs like Brescia, Piacenza, or Vicenza make a welcome return back to the top flight? Time will tell.
