Arezzo-Pontedera, the probable formations.

Tuscan derby in the Serie C, group B postponement: Arezzo and Pontedera, at 8:30 p.m. Monday, close the day with a thrilling challenge. The hosts, sixth in the standings with 39 points, want to continue the playoff race. Pontedera on the other hand, comes from a narrow defeat against Vis Pesaro (0-1), but in the last matches it has won 2 victories and 2 draws, momentarily exiting the playout zone.

Troise lines up with an offensive 4-3-3: solid defense led by Chiosa and Righetti, a balanced midfield with Settembrini and Eklu, while in attack Guccione, Pattarello and Tavernelli aim to hurt by exploiting speed and technique.

The experienced Menichini adopts a compact 4-2-3-1: solid defense with Pretato and Cerretti in the center, Landinetti and Guidi providing balance in midfield, while Van Ransbeeck leads the three-quarter in support of Italeng, the offensive reference.
