Serie B 2025-2026: Palermo-Reggiana, the likely lineups

The wait in the Rosanero household is over: Palermo starts again with a clear objective, a return to Serie A after a ten-year absence. Leading the team is Filippo Inzaghi, a technician experienced in promotions and chosen to give the decisive push to the project.

Saturday night, at the “Barbera,” the league opener against Reggiana, a solid formation that shored up the defense in the summer market without upsetting last year’s system. The Granata will rely on the quality of Portanova and the physicality of Gondo to attempt the outside shot.

The Palermo, on the other hand, presents itself with a further strengthened staff: in defense, the arrival of former Genoa captain Mattia Bani stands out, while on the side lanes coach Inzaghi will be able to count on Gyasi and Augello, both with Serie A experience. Going forward, the weight of the attack will be on the shoulders of Finnish bomber Pohjanpalo, supported by Palumbo and Brunori.

Probable lineups:

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

Reggiana (3-5-2): E. Motta; Bonetti, Papetti, Libutti; Sampirisi, Bertagnoli, Reinhart, Portanova, Rover; Gondo, Tavsan.
Coach: Dionigi.
