Serie A 2024-2025: Genoa-Monza, the likely lineups

Genoa-Monza, the probable formations 

Genoa and Monza take on each other at 8:45 p.m. at the 'Ferraris' in the postponement of the 22nd day of Serie A. Patrick Vieira’s men, veterans of the 3-1 defeat at the Olimpico against Roma, are looking for precious points to move away from the relegation zone. Since the former French midfielder replaced Gilardino on the bench, the Rossoblù have suffered only two defeats in nine matches. Monza, last in the standings, also changed coach, relying on Salvatore Bocchetti after Nesta's exoneration. The Brianzoli, coming off a 2-1 home win against Fiorentina, then succumbed 3-1 to Bologna, collecting their 12th loss of the season.

Vieira is banking on a consolidated lineup: Badelj leads the midfield, Pinamonti reference in attack with Vitinha and Zanoli in support.

Bocchetti bets on a mix of experience and freshness: Turati between the posts, Izzo leader of the defense, Sensi director in the middle and the Maldini-Caprari pair to lead the attack with quality and unpredictability.

Probable lineups

Genoa (4-3-3): Leali; De Winter, Vasquez, Matturro, Martin; Frendrup, Badelj, Thorsby; Vitinha, Pinamonti, Zanoli. All: Vieira. 

Monza (4-4-2): Turati; Pedro Pereira, Izzo, Carboni, Kyriakopoulos; Ciurria, Sensi, Bianco, Akpa Akpro; Maldini, Caprari. All: Bocchetti.
