Sanremese vs Millesimo - Coppa Italia Serie D

The Coppa Italia Serie D returns to the home ground on October 7, 2026, where Sanremese and Millesimo will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. Manchester United play in Gothenburg on Saturday as they take on Paris-Saint Germain in their fourth pre-season fixture.

Both camps will view the Coppa Italia Serie D meeting at the home ground as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. Sanremese will be keen to seize the initiative and build some momentum on home soil. Millesimo will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. Dusan Vlahovic followed up his hat-trick on Monday by completing the comeback to leave Fenerbahce four points behind Galatasaray, who snatched a late winner at Basaksehir on Friday.

Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Sanremese and Millesimo have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it. Schalke were third bottom for possession in winning the second tier, let alone facing Bayern.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Sangare is more of a defensive midfielder who can recycle and build play from deep.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 1-1 draw feels like a fitting result. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. Fulham's Antonee Robinson could be one of those, who would likely be a cheaper alternative to Hall, who has just enjoyed a breakout season with the Magpies.
