Coppa Italia 2025-2026: Genoa-Vicenza, the likely lineups

Genoa wants to get off on the right foot in its first official outing of the season. Facing them will be a Vicenza team that dreams of a feat against a formation that plays in a league two categories higher. This is, in short, the leitmotif of the mid-August challenge, valid for the second round of the Italian Cup.

At the Luigi Ferraris stadium, two clubs that have written important pages of Serie A, but have not crossed paths for a good 15 years, face each other.

The last precedent dates back to November 2010, when Genoa overcame the Venetians 3-1 after extra time in the fourth round of the Coppa Italia, thanks in part to a Luca Toni double.

Probable lineups

Genoa (4-3-2-1): Leali; Norton-Cuffy, Marcandalli, Ostigard, Martin; Frendrup, Malinovsky, Masini; Carboni, Stanciu; Vitinha.
Coach: Vieira.

Vicenza (3-5-2): Gagno; Laverbe, Cuomo, Sandon; Tribuzzi, Cavion, Carraro, Vitale, Caferri; Capello, Morra.
Coach: Gallo
