Genoa-Monza, the probable formations

Genoa and Monza take on each other at 8:45 p.m. at the ‘Ferraris’ in the postponement of the 22nd day of Serie A. Patrick Vieira’s men, veterans of the 3-1 defeat at the Olimpico against Roma, are looking for precious points to move away from the relegation zone.

Vieira is banking on a consolidated lineup: Badelj leads the midfield, Pinamonti reference in attack with Vitinha and Zanoli in support.

Bocchetti bets on a mix of experience and freshness: Turati between the posts, Izzo leader of the defense, Sensi director in the middle and the Maldini-Caprari pair to lead the attack with quality and unpredictability.

Probable lineups

Genoa (4-3-3): Leali; De Winter, Vasquez, Matturro, Martin; Frendrup, Badelj, Thorsby; Vitinha, Pinamonti, Zanoli. All: Vieira.

Monza (4-4-2): Turati; Pedro Pereira, Izzo, Carboni, Kyriakopoulos; Ciurria, Sensi, Bianco, Akpa Akpro; Maldini, Caprari. All: Bocchetti.
