Serie B 2025-2026: Catanzaro-Avellino, the probable formations

At 5:15 p.m. the “Nicola Ceravolo” is preparing to turn the spotlight on the challenge between Catanzaro and Avellino, valid for the 16th day of Serie B. The Giallorossi, reinvigorated by the success obtained in Modena, want to give continuity to the positive momentum to remain in the playoff zone, while the Irpini, strong from the useful results won against Venezia and Südtirol, arrive in Calabria with confidence and renewed enthusiasm.

Aquilani can again count on Brighenti and Verrengia: the latter, now fully recovered, could be one of the possible surprises in the starting eleven. The absence of Buglio, stopped by a tendon problem, shortens the midfield rotations but does not affect the certainties of the midfield, where Petriccione and Pontisso remain points of reference. Di Francesco, struggling with a muscle injury, will not be in the match either. In attack, Cisse-Iemmello.

Biancolino relies on the attacking pair formed by the’former Biasci and Tutino, with Palumbo in support in the three-quarter. Midfield has Palmiero in the box, with Missori and Cancellotti tasked with pushing on the flanks. Defense headed by Enrici, Daffara between the posts.

Probable lineups

Catanzaro (3-5-2): Pigliacelli; Brighenti, Antonini, Verrengia; Favasuli, Rispoli, Petriccione, Pontisso, D’Alessandro; Cisse, Iemmello. All: Aquilani.
