Serie B 2024-2025: Reggiana-Cremonese, the likely lineups
The 32nd day of Serie B opens with the Friday night fixture between Reggiana and Cremonese. Kickoff at 8:30 p.m. at the Mapei Stadium. Granata, under new coach Dionigi, hunting for redemption after the sharp defeat to Sassuolo (1-5), while the grigiorossi want to get back to scoring points to move closer to third place.
In front of the goal defended by Bardi, Libutti, Meroni and Lucchesi are likely to be positioned, as captain Rozzio is not yet in optimal form. As for the flanks, Fiamozzi and Marras seem the leading candidates. In the center of the field, the confirmation of Reinhart and Ignacchiti is not guaranteed, while it seems difficult to do without the dynamism of Sersanti. In attack, Gondo seems to get the better of Pettinari, while Vido, freshly returned, could be employed in the match.
In Stroppa’s 3-5-2, some changes are expected compared to the last match against Cittadella: in defense, Ceccherini has an advantage over Antov, while in midfield Pickel seems the favorite for the right midfield role, flanked by Vandeputte or Valoti next to Castagnetti. For the right outside position, Barbieri is in a runoff with Collocolo, while Azzi seems to have a slight advantage over Zanimacchia on the left flank. The’attack has several uncertainties: the Valoti-De Luca pair could be deployed, or Johnsen could be used in support of Bonazzoli.
