Serie B 2025-2026: Virtus Entella-Sudtirol, the probable formations

Sunday Serie B opens at 3 p.m. at the ‘Comunale’ in Chiavari with the confrontation between Virtus Entella and Südtirol, two teams coming from opposite moments. Hosts hunting for redemption after three consecutive defeats, more stable situation for the guests, coming off two draws in a row, but with the same points as the biancocelesti – 15 -, just above the play-out zone

Chiappella will have to forgo Di Mario, who is disqualified. Forwards Debenedetti is a candidate to regain a starting jersey alongside Fumagalli, while Russo and Guiu – lackluster in Carrara – should initially sit on the bench.

The Bianesti –; and the Bianconeri –; are just above the play-out zone.

On the visiting side, Castori will be forced to replace Tronchin himself: Mallamo is the main suspect to lead the midfield, flanked by wing halves Casiraghi and Tait, with Martini ready to take over as the game progresses. In the attack, the ballot to flank Silvio Merkaj remains open: Odogwu and Pecorino are playing for a jersey, with the coach who will dissolve the last doubts only after the match.

Probable lineups

Virtus Entella (3-5-1-1): Colombi; Parodi, Marconi, Moretti; Bariti, Dalla Vecchia, Benali, Karic, Mezzoni; Franzoni; Debenedetti. Coach: Chiappella

Südtirol (3-5-2): Adamonis; El Kaouakibi, Kofler, Veseli; Molina, Martini, Tait, Casiraghi, Zedadka; Merkaj, Pecorino. Coach: Castori
