Lecco-Novara, the probable formations

The 23rd day of Serie C opens with the Lecco-Novara advance, a challenge between two teams living decidedly different situations. Lecco è looking for salvation points, while Novara aims to consolidate its position in the play-off zone, with the goal of further improving the placement.

Lecco, fresh from a heavy 4-0 defeat against Lumezzane, è called to react. Despite an active market and the arrival of new faces, coach Volpe’s team has struggled to get results, picking up only one point in the last three games. Ionita and Sipos are among the few who have not betrayed expectations, while the defense and midfield, renewed with graft such as Polito and Stanga, will have to make a difference to avoid slipping into the play-out zone.

Novara, on the other hand, comes to the challenge in good shape and with its attack in great form. Ongaro and Morosini, both authors of six goals in the season, are the spearheads of coach Gattuso’s team, which lines up with the usual 3-5-2. Despite the departures of Riccardi and Migliardi, Novara wants to confirm its status as a play-off team and seek crucial points away against a struggling Lecco.

Probable lineups

Lecco (4-4-2): Furlan; Polito, Stanga, Galli, Kritta; Grassini, Ionita, Martic, Marino; Galeandro, Sipos. Coach: Volpe.

Novara (3-5-2): Minelli; Cannavaro, Khailoti, Lorenzini; Donadio, Calcagni, Ranieri, Basso, Agyemang; Morosini, Ongaro. Coach: Gattuso.
