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

The midweek Serie B round offers the big match between Palermo and Monza. Kickoff at 8:30 p.m. at the ‘Barbera’. The Rosanero, coming off the knockout with Catanzaro, are looking for a victory that would mean overtaking right on the biancorossi, who instead are chasing their fourth success in a row to put pressure on the leading Modena.

Inzaghi considers a change in midfield with Gomes ready to take Palumbo’s place. In attack Brunori will challenge Le Douaron for a starting shirt alongside Pohjanpalo. In defense, Bani returns but will start from the bench.

Bianco confirms Mota in attack, with Colpani and Keita in support in the three-quarter. Obiang is back in midfield along with Pessina. In defense space for Ravanelli, Thiam is confirmed between the posts.

Probable lineups

Palermo (3-5-2): Joronen; Pierozzi, Peda, Ceccaroni; Diakité, Gomes, Ranocchia, Segre, Augello; Le Douaron, Pohjanpalo. All. Inzaghi

Monza (3-4-2-1): Thiam; Izzo, Ravanelli, Carboni; Birindelli, Obiang, Pessina, Azzi; Colpani, Keita; Mota. All. White
