Serie B 2025-2026: Monza-Spezia, the likely lineups
Monza and Spezia face each other Sunday afternoon at 5:15 p.m. in a challenge valid for the 11th day of Serie B. Important and delicate match for the balance of the standings: the guests come from the triumph in Avellino and the draw with Padova but are still in the relegation zone, the hosts have won the last four in a row.
Paolo Bianco’s Monza should take the field with Dany Mota as the only forward, supported by two trequartisti: one should be Keita, for the other box between the lines Colpani appears favored over Ciurria. In midfield, Obiang and Pessina will act centrally, with Birindelli on the right and Azzi on the left. Three-man defense in front of goalkeeper Thiam: ready Izzo, Ravanelli and Carboni.
In Spezia, coach D’Angelo is ready to launch a two-man defense composed of Lapadula and Di Serio. The midfield is dense, with Nagy in the booth, Vignali and Kouda inside (Beruatto is the first alternative for both), and full-back Cassata on the right with Aurelio on the opposite lane. With Sarr defending the posts, making up the defensive trio will be Wisniewski, Hristov and Mateju.

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