Coppa Italia 2025-2026: Cremonese-Palermo, the probable formations

Cremonese and Palermo inaugurate their journey with the commitment of the Coppa Italia, a fascinating and prestigious competition, but one that for their respective coaches – Davide Nicola and Filippo Inzaghi – is not the top priority.

Cremonese is focused above all on the mission of salvation: defending the Serie A, won with determination and heart at the end of the last playoffs.

The Palermo, on the other hand, has a declared and ambitious goal: a return to the top category, supported by a major purchase campaign that has raised the technical level of the rose.

Probable lineups

Cremonese (3-5-2): Audero; Sernicola, Baschirotto, Bianchetti; Floriani Mussolini, Collocolo, Grassi, Zerbin, Pezzella; Vazquez, Okereke.
Coach: Nicola.

Palermo (3-4-1-2): Bardi; Bani, Magnani, Ceccaroni; Gyasi, Ranocchia, Gomes, Augello; Palumbo; Brunori, Pohjanpalo.
Coach: Inzaghi.
