Cosenza-Brescia is a Serie B Week 16 match to be played on Thursday at 15:00: odds, predictions, live TV and streaming
Third consecutive result for Cosenza, who on Sunday failed to win (0-0) the direct clash with Perugia, the bottom of the Serie B standings. The hopes of coach Viali and the red and blue fans were dashed by the post hit in the final minutes by midfielder Calò: a missed opportunity to put three platinum points on the board and move further away from the danger zone. For the Lupi it was the second draw in a row, seven days after the one in Cittadella (1-1). The Calabrian formation is moving in small steps, the change on the bench between Dionigi, exonerated after the home defeat against Frosinone, and the former coach of Cesena has produced some fruit but a real shock has not been there. And the third-last place, momentarily occupied by Spal, is still too close.
In the city of Venezia in this midweek round comes Brescia, a team that is fighting for different goals than the Silani but is not going through a great moment. The corporate vicissitudes seem to have affected the performance of Pep Clotet’s men, who have only won on one occasion since mid-September. After four draws and one win, the Rondinelle lost a bloody game on Sunday against a direct competitor like Reggina, coached by the former Inzaghi. The Spanish coach is not making any dramas for now, as Brescia are still in the playoff zone, -6 from the second place.
Cosenza-Brescia: the latest line-up news
Ndoj, ex of the match
Two disqualified players for Viali: they are Voca and Venturi. However, the red and blue coach should recover Rispoli, who will be positioned on the right-hand side of defence. In midfield there is a battle between Brescianini and Vallocchia over who will take the place of the player of Kosovan origin. Larrivey will be trusted up front, supported by Brignola and Merola. Some problems for Clotet, who will have to do without the disqualified Adorni in defence: one of Pace or Bertagnoli will replace him. In attack, the coach will choose Moreo, ready to flank Ayé.
The prediction
Brescia were immediately called upon to pick themselves up after their defeat to Reggina, but they will face a Cosenza side hungry for salvation points, who will sell their skins dearly. The Lombardi, whose personnel is decidedly superior to that of the Rossoblù, should nevertheless manage to avoid defeat in a match with at least two goals in total.
The probable formations of Cosenza-Brescia
- COSENZA (4-3-2-1): Marson; Rispoli, Rigione, Vaisanen, Gozzi; Brescianini, Calò, Florenzi; Merola, Brignola; Larrivey.
- BRESCIA (4-4-2): Andrenacci; Jallow, Papetti, Mangraviti, Pace; Labojko, Viviani, Van de Looi, Ndoj; Moreo, Ayé.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-2
