Serie B 2024-2025: Modena-Sassuolo, the likely lineups

The Emilia derby between Modena and Sassuolo closes the 33rd day of Serie B on Saturday. Kickoff at 7:30 p.m. at the Stadio Alberto Braglia. The canarini will try to follow up their two victories against Catanzaro and Pisa to stay hooked to the play-off train, while the neroverdi, after the knockout with Palermo, will try to restart to get even closer to arithmetic promotion to Serie a.

Mandelli is expected to rely on Gliozzi as the center forward, with Caso and Palumbo acting as trequartisti. In the middle of the field, there will be Gerli and Santoro, with Cotali and Di Pardo as full-band outfielders.

Grosso, on the other hand, should bet on the offensive trident composed of Berardi, Pierini and Laurienté. In defense, protecting Moldovan, there will be Romagna and Lovato as the central pair, with Toljan and Doig as full-backs.
