LATEST FROM THE FIELD
HERE CARRARESE – Mister Calabro is likely to repeat the 3-4-2-1 formation seen in the last match against Catanzaro, with only a few disputes to be resolved. In goal, Bleve should start, in front of whom the defenders Coppolaro, Illanes, and Imperiale are expected to operate. On the flanks, Bouah and Cicconi will take their places, while in the midfield, Schiavi, Giovane, and Capezzi are fighting for two spots. Finotto and Panico should act in the trequartista role, while Shpendi is competing with Capello for the single striker position.
HERE SASSUOLO – Mister Grosso, who has recovered Laurientè and Volpato and can also count on Pierini, who arrived in the final hours of the transfer market, will have to do without not only Berardi but also unavailable players Kumi, Caligara, and Ghion. He might revert to a three-striker attack in a possible 4-3-3 formation, with Volpato and Laurientè (or Pierini) on the sides of either Russo or Mulattieri. In the midfield, Thorstvedt and Boloca could support Obiang, while in defense, full-backs Toljan and Doig (or Pieragnolo) and center-backs Odenthal and Romagna (who is threatened by Lovato) should act to protect Satalino. A 4-3-1-2 formation is not to be excluded, with Thorstvedt behind Russo and Mulattieri up front.
