Spezia-Venice, the probable formations

Spezia hosts Venezia in their Coppa Italia debut, in the match valid for the 32nd final. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the Manuzzi in Cesena. The Spezzini, relegated to B, arrive at the first official appointment of the season after an excellent preseason, the result of 3 wins and a draw. For the lagunari a balance of two wins, a draw and a loss in the summer friendlies. Whoever wins will face Sassuolo, who eliminated Cosenza after extra time (5-2).

New coach Alvini is banking on Moro in attack, with Verde and Antonucci completing the trident. Salvatore Esposito will lead the midfield, on the outsides will act Amian and Reca. In goal Dragowski.

Vanoli relies on Pohjanpalo in attack, paired with Jonsen, with Pierini backing up the three-quarter. In midfield trust Busio and Ellertson, the defense will be headed by Idzes and Modolo.
