2026-2027 Serie B: Vicenza vs. Modena, Probable Lineups

Modena visits Vicenza aiming to extend its winning streak and remain near the top of the standings. The Gialloblù, currently in third place with 16 points, are coming off a decisive 3-0 victory over Cesena. The Biancorossi, on the other hand, are looking to build on their 2-0 win on the road against Empoli and aim to capitalize on home-field advantage to gain ground in the standings. The two teams face off at 8 p.m. at the “Romeo Menti” Stadium in a match counting toward Matchday 9 of Serie B.

Fabio Gallo’s Vicenza is expected to stick with the 3-5-2 formation, with Gagno in goal and a defensive trio of Papetti, Brighenti, and Sandon. Caferri and Corazza are expected on the wings, while in midfield, Pellizzari, Zonta, and Bellemo should provide balance and quality as their coach intends. Up front, the starting duo will be Morra and Merkaj.

Daniele Galloppa’s Modena arrives at the ‘Menti’ without a couple of key players, most notably Daniel Tonoli, who is sidelined due to a muscle injury. Zampano is expected to take his place, while Folino, Nador, and Nieling are expected in defense. In midfield, Santoro could return to the starting lineup alongside Bianco, with Azzi on the left wing. Up front, Caso is ready to reclaim his starting spot, while Belotti could start on the bench with Ambrosino taking his place.
