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

Cremonese-Cesena, the probable formations

There are important points at stake, at the "Zini", for the race to the playoffs: in fact, on Saturday afternoon Cremonese and Cesena, two teams dreaming of access to the knockout stage that, at the end of the regular season, guarantees a place in Serie A for the following season, will challenge each other, with kickoff at 17:15.

The grigiorossi are coming off a draw in Bari (1-1, Bianchetti’s unlucky own goal in the recovery being decisive) and will have to do without the disqualified Vazquez and the injured Collocolo, Gelli and Ravanelli, as well as reserve goalkeeper Saro. Giovanni Stroppa will repropose his classic 3-5-2 with Ceccherini in the center of defense and the attacking tandem Valoti-De Luca.

On the other side, coach Michele Mignani will in turn try to extend the positive series (so far one win and one draw) by deploying a 3-4-1-2 with Berti behind Shpendi and La Gumina in attack. Two are unavailable, the injured Ceesay and the disqualified Daniele Donnarumma.

Probable lineups

Cremonese (3-5-2): Fulignati; Antov, Ceccherini, Bianchetti; Barbieri, Pickel, Castagnetti, Vandeputte, Azzi; Valoti, De Luca. All. Stroppa.

Cesena (3-4-1-2): Klinsmann; Mangraviti, Prestia, Piacentini; Adamo, Bastoni, Saric, Ciofi; Berti; Shpendi, La Gumina. All. Mignani.
