Serie A 2024-2025: Como-Empoli, the likely lineups

Como and Empoli will kick off the 30th round of Serie A this Saturday, after the break for national team matches. Kickoff at 3 p.m. at the ‘Sinigaglia’. The Larians want to return to success after the scorching knockout at San Siro, while the Tuscans are desperate for points to get out of the relegation zone.

Fabregas has to deal with the absences of Nico Paz and Dele Alli, who are both disqualified. Patrick Cutrone will therefore be deployed in attack, flanked by Strefezza and Diao. In midfield, Sergi Roberto will lead the game, supported by Caqueret and Da Cunha. The defense will miss the injured Dossena, with Goldaniga and Kempf in the center ahead of Butez between the posts.

D’Aversa recovers Viti, Fazzini and Solbakken: the former should return as a starter and complete the defensive trio with Marianucci and Goglichidze, given Ismajli’s absence. Midfield dike formed by Grassi and Henderson, while Anjorin, still recovering, could start from the bench. The wings will be occupied by Gyasi and Pezzella. In attack, Colombo is ready to play for a starting spot, while Kouamè could start from the bench.
