2026/2027 Coppa Italia: Verona vs. Entella, Probable Lineups

Hellas Verona and Virtus Entella face off at 8:45 p.m. in a match for the second round of the 2026-2027 Coppa Italia. Both teams are making their season debut one week before the start of the Serie B season. Marco Baroni is back on the Hellas bench, tasked with immediately leading Verona back to the top flight; Andrea Chiappella, meanwhile, remains at the helm of the Ligurian side. If the match is tied after 90 minutes, it will go straight to a penalty shootout: the winner will face Cagliari in the round of 32.

Mulattieri leads Verona’s attack, with Compagnon, Harroui, and Livramento behind him. In midfield, Bernede and Kastanos start, while Oyegoke and Bradaric play on the wings.

Entella fields the duo of Forte and Guiu up front, with Karic, Annoni, and Matteazzi in midfield. The two wingers are Di Mario and Bariti.

“The feeling is always the same during these moments of preparation, of hard work with the team,” Baroni said at a press conference. “It’s clear that my focus—and that of the team and my staff—is entirely on this match, because now the games that really matter are beginning. We know we can’t afford to slip up—especially when it comes to our attitude, determination, dedication, and game plan. I expect to see what we’ve been working on so far, and I’m confident we’ll approach this match with great focus.”
