LR Vicenza - Catanzaro

Can LR Vicenza establish an immediate rhythm as they host Catanzaro on 21 August 2026 at Stadio Romeo Menti, Vicenza? The hosts look to build upon their recent competitive outing, having drawn 1-1 against Catania in the Coppa Italia. The expected XI for Vicenza features Riccardo Gagno in goal, supported by a defensive trio of Giuseppe Cuomo, Maxime Leverbe, and Thomas Sandon, while Filippo Alessio and Gabriele Moncini are expected to lead the line in attack.

Catanzaro arrive following a 2-2 draw with Sudtirol in the Coppa Italia, a result that highlights their attacking intent. Their expected lineup includes Mirko Pigliacelli in goal, with Antonio Candela, Bruno Verrengia, Matias Antonini Lui, and Marco Ruggero forming the back line. With Simone Pafundi and Jacopo Petriccione anchoring the midfield, the visitors will look to disrupt the home side's structure and secure points on the opening matchday of the new Serie B season.
