Serie B 2025-2026: Palermo-Virtus Entella, the likely lineups

The match scheduled at 3 p.m.00 at ‘Barbera’ between the Palermo and Virtus Entella, valid for the 25th day of Serie B, promises spectacle and excitement. Both teams are in the hunt for heavy points for their respective season goals: the rosanero want to continue their run toward promotion to Serie A, while the biancocelesti need to get a result to move away from the hot spots in the standings.

The Palermo currently occupies the fourth place in the standings, four points behind the Frosinone second. Too many draws (as many as 9 in 24 games) often accrued due to carelessness in the final minutes, are weighing on the rosanero’s path and preventing the team from finding the necessary continuity of results. The lineup led by Filippo Inzaghi comes to this match with only one goal: to win. To do so, the Emilian coach relies on Joronen between the posts; Bereszynski, Bani and Ceccaroni in defense; Pierozzi and Augello on the outsides, with Segre and Ranocchia in the middle of the field; on the three-quarter Le Douaron and Palumbo to support bomber Pohjanpalo.

The Ligurians come to this match motivated by the victory in the last round against Cesena. The up-and-down results here are also a constant: the only 5 victories won in this championship condemn Chiappella’s team to sail in the hot spots of the standings, -1 from the fifth-last Reggiana. The Lombardy coach relies on a 3-4-2-1: Colombi in goal, Marconi, Alborghetti and Parodi in defense; sides manned by Di Mario and Bariti; in the middle Karic and Squizzato; Guiu and Franzoni will act behind the’only point Cuppone.
