2026-2027 Coppa Italia: Vicenza vs. Catania, Probable Lineups

Vicenza and Catania take the field at 8:00 p.m. at Romeo Menti Stadium for their first-round match in the 2026-2027 Coppa Italia: the winner of this match will face Parma in the round of 32. This marks the season opener for both teams: the hosts have returned to Serie B, while the Sicilians will be aiming for promotion from Serie C this season.

Biancorossi coach Gallo is relying on Moncini up front: he’ll be joined by one of Rauti, Morra, or Alessio. Pietrelli and Costa will play on the wings, with Rada, Zonta, and Carraro in midfield; Valoti is expected to start on the bench.

Catania is in crisis mode: due to financial issues, the Etnei will be unable to field their new signings or players who have just renewed their contracts. The Sicilians will thus take the field with several absences: Liguori, Rolfini, and Cicerelli are expected to play up front, while Corbari, Quaini, and Jimenez will feature in midfield.

Vicenza vs. Catania: Probable Lineups
VICENZA (3-5-2): Gagno; Cuomo, Leverbe, Marchizza; Pietrelli, Rada, Zonta, Carraro, Costa; Rauti, Moncini. Coach: Gallo.
CATANIA (4-3-3): Rinaldi; Pagliai, Ierardi, Allegretto, Donnarumma; Corbari, Quaini, Jimenez; Liguori, Rolfini, Cicerelli. Head Coach: Longo.
