Genoa-Reggiana, the probable formations

Genoa-Reggiana, the probable formations

Genoa and Reggiana will face each other in the round of 16 of the Italian Cup. Kickoff at 15:00 at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. The Rossoblù defeated Salernitana by a narrow margin in the previous round, while the Emilians won with a clear 3-0 on the field of Feralpisalò. Whoever wins will face Lazio in the round of 16.

Gilardino should rely on the tandem of Puscas and Ekuban in attack. In defense, in front of Leali, will be Bani, Vogliacco and Matturro. Nesta, on the other hand, should deploy Lanini and Gondo in the offensive phase, with Portanova as a trequartista.

GENOA(3-5-2): Leali; Bani, Vogliacco, Matturro; De Winter, Thorsby, Badelj, Kutlu, Haps; Ekuban, Puscas. Coach: Gilardino.

REGGIANA (4-3-1-2): Satalino; Fiamozzi, Rozzio, Marcandalli, Libutti; Crnigoj, Da Riva, Bianco; Portanova; Lanini, Gondo. Coach: Nesta.
