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

Spezia-Cremonese is the big match of the penultimate day of Serie B. Football d’start at 8:30 p.m. at the ‘Picco’. They face respectively the third and fourth in the standings: the Bianconeri hunting for a win to secure third place, while the Grigiorossi, fourth at -5, want to close the talks for fourth place.

Compulsory choices for coach D’Angelo, who in defense will be able to count only on the three remaining central players: Mateju, Hristov and Wisniewski. On the flanks, Vignali will take the place of the disqualified Elijah on the right, while Aurelio will be confirmed on the left, with Reca still stuck in the pits. In the midfield, Bandinelli returns from the first minute, who will be flanked by Nagy and Salvatore Esposito. In attack, trust in Lapadula, with Pio Esposito completing the offensive tandem.

Stroppa will also have to deal with several absences: out due to disqualification are Ceccherini and Vazquez, while Collocolo, Zanimacchia and Antov are injured. Nevertheless, the 3-5-2 will be confirmed, with Folino, Bianchetti and Ravanelli making up the defensive trio. In the middle of the field, Pickel will be the point man at the direction, while young Barbieri will still be a starter on the right flank. Up front, it will be Johnsen’s turn to flank De Luca.
