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

The Friday night fixture between Palermo and Sampdoria opens the 16th day of Serie B. Kickoff at 8:30 p.m. at the “Renzo Barbera”. The Rosanero, who come to the fixture on the strength of two consecutive successes against Empoli and Carrarese, are looking for another win to move closer to the top. The Blucerchiati, for their part, galvanized by their comeback victory over Carrarese, will try to get crucial points with a view to salvation.

Inzaghi seems intent on confirming the eleven that took the field with Empoli: Pohjanpalo the only offensive reference, with Palumbo and Le Douaron supporting on the three-quarter. In midfield, Pierozzi and Augello on the flanks, defense headed by Bani.

Gregucci confirms Coda in attack, paired with Pafundi, favored over Cherubini. In midfield, Henderson in the booth, with Conti and Benedetti on either side of him. In defense Venuti ahead of Riccio, Ghidotti between the posts.
