Today’s edition of “Il Giornale di Sicilia” focuses on the probable lineups of the match scheduled for tomorrow between Sudtirol and Palermo through an article by Massimiliano Radicini.
Palermo approaches the decisive match against Südtirol with the aim of securing sixth place and tackling the playoffs in the best possible way. The absence of Ceccaroni and Gomes, who are not at 100%, forces coach Michele Mignani to preserve key players and make some strategic choices for the match in Bolzano.
Probable Training Choices:
Doorman:
Desplanches: A clear lead after a convincing performance against Ascoli.
Defence:
Nedelcearu: On the centre-right, solid presence in the three-man defence.
Lucioni: Central defense, with experience and leadership.
Marconi/Graves: One of the two will complete the defensive line. Marconi is the natural replacement for Ceccaroni, but Graves offers a viable alternative.
Diakité: Confirmed on the right lane, he could also move up in defense.
Buttaro: He could replace Diakité if necessary.
Lund: Confirmed as left winger.
Midfield:
Henderson: At the point guard position.
Ranocchia: To the right of Henderson, with permission to advance.
Di Francesco: On the left of Henderson, acting as a glue with the attack.
Segre: He could be spared because of the warning.
Stulac: His use is unlikely, given that Mignani wants greater coverage.
Attack:
Brunori-Soleri: Pair confirmed after both goals against Ascoli.
Mancuso: Competing with Soleri for a starting spot.
Probable Palermo Lineup (3-5-2):
Goalkeeper: Desplanches
Defenders: Nedelcearu, Lucioni, Marconi/Graves
Midfielders: Diakité/Buttaro, Ranocchia, Henderson, Di Francesco, Lund
Forwards: Brunori, Soleri/Mancuso
Mignani will be looking for his first success in charge of Palermo, having so far achieved only four draws and two defeats. Südtirol represents a tough opponent, but Palermo wants to ensure the best possible position to face the playoffs with confidence.
Playoff goal
Palermo aims to play all its chances and try to fight until the last second of this season, with the hope of reaching Serie A.
