Monza-Reggiana, the probable formations

Monza makes its Coppa Italia debut against Reggiana in the challenge valid for the 32nd final of the Coppa Italia. Kickoff at 9:15 p.m. at the U-Power Stadium. First official match for brianzoli in preparation for the Serie A debut against Inter, scheduled for Saturday, August 19 at San Siro. For the Emilians, on the other hand, it will be the second round in the domestic cup, as they rifled a bombastic 6-2 win over Pescara in the 64th round. Whoever wins faces Genoa, who beat Modena in a pyrotechnic 4-3 victory.

Palladino relies on Mota Carvalho in attack, supported by Caprari and Colpani in the three-quarter. Debuts for former Inter men Gagliardini, paired with Pessina in midfield, and D’Ambrosio, right arm in defense.

Nesta opts for the Vido-Lanini pair in attack. Cigarini will be the director in midfield, on the outsides Fiamozzi and Pieragnolo. Between the posts Bardi.
