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

Mantova and Reggiana face each other in the 15th day of Serie B. Kickoff at 3 p.m. at the ‘Martelli’.The Virgilians are hunting for their fourth success in the last five games, aiming to take further distance from the hot zone. The Grenadians, on the other hand, are looking for a victory they have been missing since late October to maintain a reassuring margin over the playout.

In front of Motta should be confirmed the back trio formed by Papetti, Magnani and Bonetti. In the middle of the field there is still room for Reinhart and Charlys, with Štulac, Mendicino and Vallarelli ready to be the main alternatives. In attack, Gondo seems headed for a starting jersey.

Possanzini must deal with the disqualifications of Bani and Radaelli and injuries to Mantovani, Bragantini and Mancuso. In defense, Fedel and Maggioni are expected to occupy the side lanes, while Castellini and Cella will act as center backs. In the offensive trident, the favorites remain Marras and Bonfanti alongside Ruocco, but Galuppini and Mensah challenge for a place from the 1′.
