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

Cesena-Spezia, the probable formations

Cesena and Spezia will face each other on Saturday afternoon in the 30th day of Serie B. Kickoff at 3 p.m. at the Dino Manuzzi Stadium. The Emilians will try to score their sixth consecutive useful result to keep themselves in the play-off zone. The Aquilotti, for their part, after the victory with Pisa in the previous round will try to hit the three points to grab the second place, valid for direct promotion.

Mignani will have to deal with Mangraviti's absence in defense. It will, therefore, be Ciofi, Prestia and Piacentini who will make up the defensive trio to protect Klinsmann. In attack, trust the tandem formed by Shpendi and La Gumina, with Francesconi as trequartista.

D'Angelo, however, will have to do without Salvatore Esposito in the middle of the field. It will be up to Vignali, Nagy and Bandinelli to act in the three-man midfield, with Elia and Reca as full-backs. On the offensive side, Lapadula and Pio Esposito are confirmed.

Probable lineups

CESENA (3-4-1-2):  Klinsmann; Ciofi, Prestia, Piacentini; Ceesay, Saric, Simone Bastoni, Celia; Francesconi; La Gumina, Shpendi. Coach: Michele Mignani.

SPEZIA (3-5-2):  Chichizola; Wisniewski, Hristov, Bertola; Elia, Vignali, Nagy, Bandinelli, Reca; Lapadula, P. Esposito. Coach: Luca D’Angelo.
