Serie B 2025-2026: Virtus Entella-Juve Stabia, the probable formations

Virtus Entella and Juve Stabia face each other in a match that puts important points up for grabs for two teams with definite ambitions. The Ligurians, back in Serie B as newly promoted, aim to surprise and carve out a role as outsiders in the playoff race. On the other hand, the Campani want to confirm themselves as protagonists despite the summer farewell of coach Guido Pagliuca, starting again with new certainties under the guidance of Abate.

Mister Chiappella should rely on the usual 3-5-2. Between the posts will be Colombi, protected by the defensive trio formed by Parodi, Tiritiello and Marconi. In the midfield, space for the quintet composed of Boccadamo, Karic, Benali, Franzoni and Di Mario, called to ensure balance and dynamism. Forwards trust the tandem Guiu-F. Russo, aiming to exploit speed and unpredictability.

The Wasps’ response will be a 4-3-2-1. Defending the posts will be Confente, with Ruggero, Vernier, Bellich and D’Amore completing the back line. The midfield trio of Buglio, Leone and Mannini will act in the midfield, while in the three-quarter Piscopo and De Pieri will have the task of supporting the lone striker Candellone.

Probable lineups:

Virtus Entella (3-5-2): Colombi; Parodi, Tiritiello, Marconi; Boccadamo, Karic, Benali, Franzoni, Di Mario; Guiu, F. Russo.
Coach: Chiappella.

Juve Stabia (4-3-2-1): Confente; Ruggero, Vernier, Bellich, D’Amore; Buglio, Leone, Mannini; Piscopo, De Pieri; Candellone.
