Bari-Palermo, the probable formations

The new Serie B championship begins with the challenge between Bari and Palermo. Kickoff at 8:30 p.m. at the ‘San Nicola’ in Bari. Both clubs are seeking redemption after their respective eliminations in the Coppa Italia: the biancorossi suffered a heavy home loss to Parma (0-3), while the rosanero had to surrender to Cagliari (1-2) after extra time.

Mignani launches Brenno between the posts, while the defense will be headed by the Di Cesare-Vicari pair. In midfield, space will be given to newcomer Edjouma. In attack will be the Nasti-Diaw tandem, supported by Menez in the three-quarter.

Corini relies on Brunori up front, with Insigne and Di Mariano completing the trident. Stulac returns in midfield, flanked by Gomes and new signing Vasic. On the left lane Ceccaroni will replace the injured Aurelio, while Mateju will act on the right.

Likely lineups.

BARI (4-3-1-2): Brenno; Dorval, Di Cesare, Vicari, Ricci; Maita, Maiello, Edjouma; Menez; Diaw, Nasti. All. Mignani.

PALERMO (4-3-3): Pigliacelli; Mateju, Lucioni, Marconi, Ceccaroni; Vasic, Stulac, Gomes; Insigne, Brunori, Di Mariano. All. Corini.
