For this important match Pecchia dusts off Estevez in midfield while Mihaila is ready to replace the injured Man on the right. On the left, Benedyczak finds a place in the starting eleven, while Bonny returns after suspension and will act as a central striker. After the colorless performance offered in Palermo, prompt redemption is expected from the “crack” Bernabè. It is hoped that the tension will not play a bad joke on the Crociati, who are called to win after the success obtained yesterday by Venezia against Cremonese.
Here are the lineups of the teams on the pitch:
PARMA : Chichizola; Delprato, Osorio, Circati, Di Chiara; Estevez, Hernani; Benedyczak, Bernabé, Mihaila; Bonnie.
Available Turk, Corvi, Balogh, Charpentier, Ansaldi, Colak, Sohm, Partipilo, Camara, Coulibaly, Zagaritis, Cyprien.
All. Pecchia.
LECCO: Melgrati; Lemmens, Capradossi, Bianconi, Caporale; Ionita, Of the Innocents, Sersanti; Crusade, Novakovich, Buso. Available Saracco, Cecchini, Smajlovic, Lunetta, Salcedo, Salomaa, Parigini, Frigerio, Louakima, Guglielmotti, Ierardi, Galli. Annex Malgrati.
