Ninety minutes to go. To the dream. To Serie A. On the one hand the Venice, host, with two results out of three available to hit the target; on the other side Cremonese capable of getting back on track until the last act despite a complicated start to the season. This is the scenario where the return leg of the Serie B playoffs kicked off at the ‘Penzo’. Sold out stadium in a Venetian lagoon with the clouds of the Adriatic, but full of tension for the challenge.
These are the official lineups for the match.
Compared to the hypotheses of the day before, the hosts have Bjarkason in midfield in place of Andersen, as well as Gytkjaer in place of Pierini. Also new for the guests with Pickel replacing Collocolo in midfield and Buonaiuto up front paired with Tsadjout.
Venice (3-5-2): Joronen, Idzes, Svoboda, Sverko; Candela, Busio, Tessmann, Bjarkason, Zampano; Pohjanpalo, Gytkjaer. Trainer: Vanoli.
Cremonese (3-5-2): I will be; Antov, Ravanelli, Bianchetti; Zanimacchia, Pickel, Castagnetti, Vazquez, Sernicola; Good help, Tsadjout. Trainer: It sucks
