Serie B 2025-2026: Padova-Bari, the likely lineups
Padua hosts Bari in the 26th day of Serie B. Kickoff at 3 p.m. at the Euganeo. The Biancoscudati, thirteenth with 29 points, want to make up for it after the narrow defeat to Sampdoria. On the other hand, the “biancorossi,” penultimate with 21 points, are called upon to react after the knockout with Sudtirol.
Andreoletti must do without Papu Gomez and Ghiglione. In attack there’s Bortolussi, favored over Lasagna, with Di Mariano and Varas in support in the three-quarter. Midfield dike formed by Fusi and Harder, on the outsides Capelli and Barreca. Perrotta returns in defense, Sorrentino between the posts.
Longo, who does not recover Verreth and Dickmann, seems intent on launching Artioli from the first minute in midfield, paired with Braunoder, favored over Touré. Moncini returns as a starter in attack, with Rao and Piscopo, favored over Cuni, in the three-quarter. In defense, Pucino favored over Mantovani, with Cerofolini in goal.
