Serie B 2025-2026: Palermo-Modena, the likely lineups

Sunday’s eighth day of Serie B opens with the big match between Palermo and Modena. Kickoff at 3 p.m. at the Barbera. Challenge d’highest ranking: the rosanero, second with 15 points, are looking for a success that would mean overtaking the yellowoblù, first at 17, and lone summit.

Inzaghi must do without Bani in defense: Peda is ready in his place, with Diakité and Ceccaroni completing the rearguard. In midfield, sides manned by Pierozzi and Augello, given Gyasi’s unavailability. In attack Pohjanpalo, with Palumbo and Le Douaron behind him.

Sottil relies on the attacking tandem composed of Di Mariano and Gliozzi. In midfield, Gerli in the booth, with Zampano and Zanimacchia on the flanks. In defense Dellavalle preferred to Nieling, between the posts Chichizola.
