The midfield consists of Quaini and Di Tacchio, while Casasola and Donnarumma will act on the outside lanes. On the three-quarter, the pair formed by Cicerelli and Jimenez will have the task of triggering the only point Forte.

The Bluceleste lineup will come to Sicily willing to play their cards having nothing to lose, relying in front of the big ex of the day in attack, center forward Sipos. In front of Furlan, the defense set by coach Valente relies on the trio Battistini, Tanco and Romani. In midfield, the keys to maneuver are entrusted to Mallamo and Bonaiti, supported on the flanks by Urso and Kritta. Forward, Duca will act on the three-quarter line along with Konaté, moving to support Sipos.
