Serie B 2024-2025: Juve Stabia-Reggiana, the likely lineups

Juve Stabia and Reggiana face each other on the penultimate day of Serie B. Football d’start at 8:30 p.m. at ‘Romeo Menti’. The Vespas are still dreaming of fourth place in the standings, even though they are four lengths behind Cremonese, while the Granata, coming off three consecutive successes, are looking for another win to clinch salvation.

Faced with having to do without the disqualified Sgarbi and the injured Andreoni, Buglio and Floriani Mussolini, coach Pagliuca is leaning toward some rotation in the starting eleven. In the usual 3-4-2-1, Thiam will be defending the posts. In defense, Ruggero will flank Varnier and Bellich, although the latter is undermined by Quaranta. On the right flank, doubts remain open: possible adaptation of Rocchetti or, alternatively, the advancement of Baldi; more difficult instead the use of Fortini on that side, with the latter expected to act regularly on the left lane. In the center of the field, Leone and Pierobon are confirmed. On the three-quarter, chance for Maistro next to Piscopo, while in attack Adorante should return from the first minute.

In the 3-5-2 drawn by Dionigi, Meroni should complete the defensive trio with Rozzio and Lucchesi, protecting the goal defended by Bardi. On the side lanes, choices practically obligatory: Libutti confirmed on the right, Marras on the left. In the midfield, Portanova is going toward confirmation alongside director Reinhart (favored over Kabashi) and Ignacchiti. In attack, Vergara starts ahead of Girma to flank Gondo. Mattia Destro is pawing the bench, along with Maggio, both potential important cards going forward.
