The probable formations of Genoa-Palermo

The probable formations of Genoa-Palermo

The 24th day of Serie B opens with the challenge between Genoa and Palermo. On the one hand the Rossoblù want to redeem the defeat against Parma, on the other hand the Rosanero want to bring to ten consecutive useful results and continue the race for second place, which would guarantee direct promotion to Serie A.

In the Grifone there is an emergency in defense, as Gilardino will have to do without Ilsanker, Haps and Criscito. In addition, Bani and Vogliacco are not in top condition and should not be risked. A return to a four-man defense and a tighter trident led by Aramu in support of the two forwards Coda and Gudmundsson is conceivable. Also watch out for the possible debut from the first minute of newcomers Salcedo and Dragus.

Emergency also among the Rosanero ranks where Elia, Stulac, Vido and Bettella will be unavailable. Corini is moving toward confirmation of the 3-5-2. In midfield ballot between Verre and Damiani with the former Samp favored, while in attack trust in the Brunori-Di Mariano tandem.

Likely Formations.

Genoa (4-3-2-1): Martinez; Hefti, Dragusin, Matturro, Sabelli; Frendrup, Strootman, Jagiello; Aramu, Gudmundsson; Coda. Coach: Gilardino

Palermo (3-5-2): Pigliacelli; Mateju, Nedelcearu, Marconi; Valente, Segre, Verre, Saric, Sala; Di Mariano, Brunori. Coach: Corini
