Serie A 2025-2026: Genoa-Cremonese, the likely lineups

Genoa and Cremonese face each other in the midweek round of Serie A. Kickoff at 8:45 p.m. at the Ferraris. The Rossoblù, fresh from the scorching knockout with Torino, are still chasing their first league win, while the Grigiorossi are looking for confirmation after the good draw with Atalanta.

Vieira will recover Marcandalli and Stanciu, but both will start from the bench. The Vasquez-Ostigard pair will be confirmed in defense, while Malinovskyi will act in the three-quarter behind Ekhator, who is favored over Colombo and Ekuban for the role of first forward.

The team will be in the starting lineup.

Nicola has to deal with an injured Sanabria: in his place is ready Bonazzoli, who will partner Vazquez from the first minute. In the middle of the field, Bondo is back available, while in defense Bianchetti is moving toward a return in the back trio. Between the posts, the recovered Audero could return as a starter.

Genoa (4-2-3-1): Leali; Norton-Cuffy, Ostigard, J. Vasquez, Martin; Thorsby, Frendrup; Ellertsson, Malinovskyi, Vitinha; Ekhator. All. Vieira
