Serie B 2025-2026: Venice-Mantova, the likely lineups

Venice receives Mantova in the fourteenth day of Serie B. Kickoff at 3 p.m. at the Penzo. The Lagunari are chasing a third consecutive victory to move even closer to the top of the class. The Virgilians, coming off three straight wins that have taken them out of the play-out zone, are also doing well.

Stroppa seems oriented to reintroduce the 3-5-2, with Stankovic between the posts and the defensive trio consisting of Schingtienne, Svoboda and Sverko. Compagnon and Hainaut will act on the lanes, while Busio will lead the centrocmap. Up front, Adorante is a candidate for a 1′ shirt alongside Yeboah.

Possanzini should replicate with the 4-3-3: Festa in goal, defensive line formed by Radaelli, Cella, Castellini and Bani. Midfield will be up to Wieser, Artioli and Trimboli. In attack, Marras and Ruocco will complete the trident on the flanks of Mancuso, the focal point of the red and white offensive.

Venice (3-5-2): F. Stankovic; Schingtienne, Svoboda, Sverko; Compagnon, Kike Perez, Busio, Doumbia, Hainaut; Yeboah, Adorante. Coach: Stroppa.
