Genoa-Ascoli, the probable formations

Genoa-Ascoli, the probable formations

Genoa and Ascoli will face each other on Saturday afternoon in the 36th day of Serie B. Kickoff at 2 p.m. at the Marassi stadium. The Rossoblù will have the first match point to gain direct promotion to Serie A. In case of a victory for the Ligurians and a failure of Bari there would be the arithmetic certainty of second place for the grifone.

Gilardino should rely on the Coda-Gudmundsson offensive tandem. In midfield trust Badelj, Strootman and Sturaro with Frendrup and Sabelli on the side lanes. Breda,on the other hand, should deploy from the 1′ in attack the pair composed of Forte and Gondo, with Mendes as a trequartista. In the median, space is given to Buchel, Caligara and Collocolo.

GENOA (3-5-2): Martinez; Dragusin, Bani, Vogliacco; Frendrup, Sturaro, Badelj, Strootman, Sabelli; Gudmundsson, Coda. All. Gilardino

ASCOLI (4-3-1-2): Leali; Adjapong, Bellusci, Simic, Giordano; Collocolo, Buchel, Caligara; Mendes; Forte, Gondo. All. Breda
