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

One of the three 3 p.m. matches on Saturday of the 25th day of Serie B is that between Sampdoria and Padova, who face off at the Ferraris. After the pyrotechnic 3-3 draw with Palermo, the blucerchiati want to get back to the three points to move away from the play-out zone and hook the “biancorossi,” fresh from their narrow victory with Carrarese, on 29 points, in 11th place.

Gregucci is banking on Brunori in attack, with Begic and Pierini, favored over Cherubini and Pafundi, in support in the three-quarter. In midfield, Conti is expected to replace Henderson, who is not at his best. Defense headed by Abildgaard, Martinelli confirmed between the posts.

Andreoletti relies on Lasagna in attack, with Di Mariano and Bortolussi supporting in the three-quarter. Midfield strips manned by Varas and Barreca, while Sgarbi will lead the defensive line in front of Sorrentino, in goal.

Andreoletti’s goal is confirmed.
