Serie B 2025-2026: Monza-Padova, the probable formations

Biancorossi vs. biancoscudati at the U-Power Stadium: in the rich Saturday of Serie B (here are the probable formations of the cadetteria and other leagues around Europe) Monza and Padova are competing for important points to revive their ranking ambitions. The Brianzoli have won 7 points in their first four matches, while 4 points have been collected by the Venetians.

Mister Paolo Bianco, Monza’s coach, will not be able to count on the disqualified Ciurria, who was sent off in the 1-0 win over Sampdoria: on the right side there will be, barring surprises, Birindelli, while in attack space will again be given to Agustin Alvarez, supported by Galazzi and Colpani. The three-man defense with Izzo, Ravanelli and Lucchesi is confirmed, in front of Senegalese goalkeeper Demba Thiam.

On the other hand, the Paduans are fresh from their first win of the season (2-1 against Entella’Entella) and are looking for their first away win. Coach Andreoletti will go for a 3-5-2 with Buonaiuto and Bortolussi in attack, while on the flanks the task of tying up the two phases will be entrusted to Capelli on the right and Barreca on the left. Faedo, Sgarbi and Perrotta the three designated defenders.
