ℹ️ Team News: Ascoli

Luka Bogdan (Knee surgery), Riccardo Gagliolo (Calf problems), Erdis Kraja (Cruciate ligament tear) and Pedro Mendes (Hamstring injury) are unavailable for Ascoli gaffer Massimo Carrera.

We think that Bianconeri may well employ a 3-5-2 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Devis Vásquez, Valerio Mantovani, Sauli Vaisanen, Danilo Quaranta, Marcello Falzerano, Patrizio Masini, Fabrizio Caligara, Francesco Di Tacchio, Karim Zedadka, David Duris and Pablo Rodríguez.

🗞️ Team News: Modena

Modena boss Paolo Bianco has to choose a team with limited availability. Mario Gargiulo (Foot surgery) and Gabriele Guarino (muscular problems) won’t be making appearances.

We’re of the thinking that Canarini seem most likely to make use of a 3-4-3 lineup, going with Andrea Seculin, Niccolò Corrado, Giovanni Zaro, Antonio Pergreffi, Simone Santoro, Antonio Palumbo, Luca Magnino, Matteo Cotali, Luca Tremolada, Ettore Gliozzi and Jacopo Manconi.
