Serie B 2024-2025: Sampdoria-Cesena, the likely lineups

Sampdoria-Cesena, the probable formations
The 22nd day of Serie B opens with the challenge between Sampdoria and Cesena, two teams looking for crucial points to move closer to their respective season goals. Kickoff at 8:30 p.m. at the 'Ferraris'.
Sampdoria is going through an extremely delicate moment. After starting the season with promotion ambitions, the Ligurian team is now in the playout zone. With three coaching changes and a performance well below expectations, the Blucerchiati have not won since the tenth round and Leonardo Semplici is still looking for his first victory at the helm of the team. Despite the difficulties, Samp canò count on quality players such as Massimo Coda and Gennaro Tutino, respectively the team’s first and second scorers with 6 and 5 goals.
Cesena, newly promoted to Serie B, had a brilliant start to the season, but in recent times the performance of Mignani’s team è dropped. The Romagnoli have not won since the 17th day and are experiencing the difficulties of a more competitive category. Despite being only one point away from the play offs, Cesena remains focused on achieving the salvation goal, declared from the start. While the team has shown it can be dangerous in attack, it will have to improve its defensive phase, which has already conceded 28 goals, one of the worst in the league.

Sampdoria (3-4-2-1): Ghidotti; Riccio, Meulensteen, Veroli; Ioannou, Yepes, Bellemo, Venuti; Akinsanmiro, Pedrola; Coda. Coach: Semplici.
