Serie B 2025-2026: Spezia-Modena, the likely lineups

Modena visits Spezia in the 16th day of Serie B. Kickoff at 3 p.m. at the ‘Picco’. The hosts are looking for their third consecutive success to get out of the play-out zone, while the Canarini want to return to the three points, which they have been missing for more than a month, to hook Palermo in third place.

On the Spezia front, the main defensive change should be the return of young Italian-Brazilian Fellipe Jack on the center-left. In the midfield, Nagy returns, while on the center-right Kouda is in pole to replace the disqualified Cassata. Up front, Artistico is traveling toward a fresh start from the first minute; alongside him the ballot remains open, with Vlahovic in slight advantage but Lapadula and Soleri, both recovered from injuries, ready to undermine him.

In Modena, on the side lanes should act Zanimacchia on the right and Zampano on the left. In the middle of the field the direction will be given to Gerli, with Santoro in the role of first halfback and the open ballot for the other shirt between Sersanti, slightly favored, and Pyyhtiä. Massolin remains in contention for a starting jersey, but must watch out for competition from Di Mariano and Defrel. In attack, for the role of center forward, it is an open challenge between Gliozzi and Mendes.
