Serie B 2025-2026: Modena-Bari, the likely lineups

Modena, one of the eight teams with equal points at the top of the Serie B standings after two days, will try to confirm its leadership in front of the friendly crowd at the ‘Braglia’ (kickoff at 3 p.m. Saturday) against a poisoned Bari, back from a not easy start of the championship, marked by the knockout in Venice and the home draw against Monza.

Andrea Sottil, coach of the Canarini, will almost certainly bet on a 3-5-2, with Gliozzi and Pedro Mendes in attack. Defrel, who scored against Avellino in the 1-1 draw last Aug. 31, is expected to start from the bench. On the flanks, space will be given to Zanimacchia and Zampano, while the three-man defense will be composed, barring last-minute changes, of Tonoli, Adorni and Nieling.

The team will be made up of Tonoli, Adorni and Nieling.

As for the Biancorossi, on the other hand, coach Fabio Caserta is ready to confirm his confidence in Gabriele Moncini, author of the equalizing goal against Monza. Next to him should be Anthony Partipilo, who also started in the previous two matches and was replaced in the second half by Emanuele Rao.

Probable lineups:

MODENA (3-5-2): Chichizola; Tonoli, Adorni, Nieling; Zanimacchia, Santoro, Gerli, Sersanti, Zampano; Gliozzi, Pedro Mendes. All. Sottil.

BARI (4-3-3): Cerofolini; Dickmann, Nikolaou, Vicari, Dorval; Braunöder, Verreth, Pagano; Sibilli, Moncini, Partipilo. All. Caserta.
