Venice-Parma, the probable formations

Venezia and Parma open the Saturday schedule for the 12th round of Serie A, clashing at the Penzo stadium in Sant'Elena with kickoff whistle at 3 p.m. The two teams, both coming off a defeat, are divided in the standings by one point. Yet the Laggunarians are the tail end of the league, while the Ducals even occupy the 16th position. A not insignificant detail to understand how much the points at stake weigh.

For Eusebio Di Francesco, the choices go toward the titularity of Oristanio up front alongside the untouchable Pohjanpalo, behind them a dense midfield centered on Nicolussi Caviglia, with Busio and Duncan inside. On the flanks Zampano and Haps, behind Idzes with Svoboda and Altare.

Parma with the only point, Bonny, and a battery of trequartisti behind him: the certainties Man, Sohm and Mihaila. Stop Bernabè, in the middle there'è Estevez with Keita. In Fabio Pecchia’s four-man defense, the centerbacks remain Delprato and Balogh, with Coulibaly and Valeri on the side lanes.

Probable lineups

VENEZIA (3-5-2): Stankovic; Idzes, Svoboda, Altare; Zampano, Busio, Nicolussi Caviglia, Duncan, Haps; Oristanio, Pohjanpalo. All. Di Francesco

PARMA (4-2-3-1): Suzuki; Coulibaly, Delprato, Balogh, Valeri; Keita, Estevez; Man, Sohm, Mihaila; Bonny. All. Pecchia.
