Serie B 2025-2026: Padova-Reggiana, the likely lineups

Reggiana comes to Sunday’s away match at 5:15 p.m. against Padova with renewed confidence after the success over Carrarese and aims to give continuity to the positive signs. The crowd of great occasions is expected at the Euganeo stadium, with more than 11,000 spectators and about 1,000 Granata fans in tow.

Pierpaolo Bisoli has to deal with several absences (including Paz, Rozzio and Sampirisi), but he should confirm the 4-3-3 seen in the last round. In defense a doubt remains on the left between Bonetti and Tripaldelli, while for the rest confirmations are expected in front of Micai. In midfield, Reinhart, Bertagnoli and Portanova start favored, while in attack Bozhanaj is slightly ahead of Rover to complete the trident with Gondo and Lambourde.

Roberto Breda has to renounce several injured players, including Barreca and Lasagna, but recovers Sgarbi (initially on the bench). The Biancoscudati are expected to line up with a 3-5-2, with Crisetig in charge and Di Mariano supporting Bortolussi in attack.

Probable formations

Padova (3-5-2): Sorrentino; Faedo, Perrotta, Pastina; Capelli, Fusi, Crisetig, Varas, Favale; Di Mariano, Bortolussi.

Reggiana (4-3-3): Micai; Libutti, Vicari, Lusuardi, Bonetti; Bertagnoli, Reinhart, Portanova; Lambourde, Gondo, Bozhanaj.
