Team News: Cosenza
Gabriele Gori (Unknown Injury) and Vincenzo Millico (Unknown Injury) aren’t available for Cosenza gaffer Pierpaolo Bisoli.
In our view, Bruzi should employ a 3-5-2 system for this game, handing starts to Kristjan Matosevic, Sauli Vaisanen, Michele Rigione, Michele Camporese, Reda Boultam, Luca Bittante, Michael Venturi, Rodney Kongolo, Daniele Liotti, Joaquin Larrivey and Giuseppe Caso.

Team News: Vicenza
Vicenza manager Francesco Baldini has not got a full squad to pick from. Luca Crecco (Fractured Kneecap) and Tommaso Mancini (Unknown Injury) are not ready for selection.
We are inclined to think that Biancorossi will likely begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 formation by sending out Nikita Contini, Riccardo Brosco, Sebastian De Maio, Matteo Bruscagin, Christian Maggio, Janio Bikel, Michele Cavion, Jordan Lukaku, Filippo Ranocchia, Alessio da Cruz and Davide Diaw.

Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Vicenza will have to perform well to get anything against this Cosenza team who we think might well end up scoring and staying ahead.
We’ve gone for a very even contest with a 1-0 victory for Cosenza when the full-time whistle blows.
It should be a good one.
