Reggiana and Juve Stabia will face each other at the Mapei Stadium on this boxing day of Serie B 2024. Granata who, 15th in the table with 18 points, need to bring home all that is at stake to move away from the hot zone of the table. On the other hand, Juve Stabia, a real surprise at the start of the season, will try to give continuity to the three consecutive successes achieved in this month of December. The match, scheduled for 3pm, will be directed by Paride Tremolada from the Monza section.
HOW THE REGGIANA GET THERE
After the two defeats against Modena and Cittadella the Granata will try to start again this afternoon against Juve Stabia. To be able to snatch the three points from one of the best teams in the championship, Viali should field a formation similar to the one seen on the pitch last Saturday against the Venetians. Starting from the defense where, in front of Bardi, Moroni and Lucchesi will be confirmed as central defenders, with Sampirisi and Libutti on the external lanes. The midfield three instead should be made up of Kabashi, ahead of Reinhart, in the control room, with Sersanti, Portanova and Ignacchiti competing for the other two starting shirts. On the wings the choice should fall on Marras and Vergara, with Girma starting at the back due to muscle fatigue that put him out against the Venetians. Pettinari should still play up front. In the event that Viali decides to opt for the 4-4-2, Vido will be there next to the former Ternana player.
HOW JUVE STABIA GET THERE
If Reggiana needs to start again after two defeats in a row, Juve Stabia instead wants to continue to amaze. To do this, Pagliuca would have to rely on a starting eleven almost identical to the one that beat Cesena at the Romeo Menti on Sunday. The only change should concern Buglio’s return from disqualification with Pierobon’s advancement to the back line. It should be Piscopo who will pay the price and will most likely start from the bench. For the rest the formation will be the same with Bellich, Varnier and Ruggero in front of Thiam, Fortini, Leone and Floriani Mussolini in midfield and Adorante Candellone as the attacking pair.
