Coppa Italia 2025-2026: Pescara-Rimini, the probable lineups

Pescara and Rimini are vying for access to the main draw of the Coppa Italia, facing each other at the Stadio Adriatico on Sunday evening, with kickoff whistle at 8:30 p.m. in the preliminary match worth the challenge at the Tardini against Parma scheduled for Aug. 17. It will be played over 90 minutes plus recovery in a dry challenge. In case of a draw no extra time, it goes directly to penalty kicks.

Vincenzo Vivarini is going for a Pescara with Tonin as the only forward, who should be supported by Meazzi and Merola between the lines. Side lanes entrusted to Valzania and Cangiano, with Dagasso and Graziani in the middle. In goal is Desplanches on debut, Pellacani, Squizzato and Zeppieri absent.

Filippo D’Alesio, a former youth coach of Pescara’s own, is grappling with a very complex situation. Rimini has in fact lost ds Luca Nember through resignation, while Piero Braglia will watch the match from the stands. In attack, Parigi and Ubaldi, on the right another former as Longobardi while on the left will be Falbo. Between the posts the very young Bagli, class of 2007.

Pescara-Rimini, the probable lineups:

PESCARA (3-4-2-1): Desplanches; Staver, Corbo, Letizia; Valzania, Dagasso, Graziani, Cangiano; Merola, Meazzi; Tonin. All.: Vivarini

RIMINI (3-5-2): Bagli; Bellodi, De Vitis, Lepri; Longobardi, Garetto, Fiorini, Piccoli, Falbo; Parigi, Ubaldi. All.: D’Alesio.
