Serie B Playoffs: times, probable lineups and where to watch the second leg of the semi-finals

Rome, 24 May 2025 – Everything is ready for the second leg of the semi-finals of the playoffs Serie B, before leaving space for the final. The races between Cremonese e Juve Stabia e tra Spezia e Catanzaro will take place tomorrow: the first at the Zini at 17:15, while the second at the Picco at 19:30. The two matches will be anything but similar: following the defeat in the first leg, Cremonese is forced to overturn the result, but can also settle for a victory with just one goal difference, given that the standings play in their favor. On the other side, however, there will be a Juve Stabia that does not want to stop dreaming and will try to defend the victory of Menti. The other match, however, sees a Spezia with one foot and a half in the final: the men of D'Angelo They won with a clear 2-0 in the Ceravolo match, and tomorrow they will simply have to defend their advantage in front of their home crowd. Even in the event of an overall draw, the Ligurians would advance, given their third place in the regular season.

Cremonese – Juve Stabia

The first leg saw the Juve Stabia start well and find the advantage with Pierobon in the 34nd minute, then doubling with Worshiper in the 58th minute. Cremonese suffered a lot from the advances of the Campanians, who on several occasions even came close to scoring a third goal, but in the end they managed to shorten the gap with Johnsen at 77'. The former's goal Venice has rekindled the hopes of the grigiorossi, who will now try to overturn the game in front of their home crowd. Zini is ready to push the men of Strop to the comeback, knowing that even a one-goal win would be enough. Given their position in the standings, in fact, Cremonese would advance to the next round in the event of an overall draw, so Juve Stabia will have to manage to contain the advances of the home team, who will start aggressively from the first minutes. Furthermore, Pagliuca will have to do without Ruggero who, following the yellow card received in the first leg, will not be available for tomorrow's match. The last time the two teams faced each other at the Zini, the match ended 1-1: it was April 13th and for the yellow and blues he scored Worshiper at 72', with Bonazzoli who responded ten minutes later, bringing the match back to equilibrium. Tomorrow's match will be completely different, and pressure will also play a fundamental role, so Pagliuca and Stroppa will also have to take this factor into account.

Spice – Catanzaro will be completely different from the challenge between the Cremonese , Juve StabiaThe first leg, played last Wednesday at Ceravolo, saw the Ligurians prevail with a clear 2-0 signed Serious e Pio Esposito, which gave them a huge advantage going into the return match. The team of D'Angelo, in fact, also has the ranking factor on its side, given that it finished in third place behind Sassuolo e Pisa. Just like Cremonese against Juve Stabia, Spezia could also settle for a draw as an overall result, as they would still advance to the final, but, given how the first leg went, Catanzaro would need a miracle to overturn the game and put their qualification for the next round back into question. However, Caserta's men have already shown this season that they can hurt Spezia at the Picco, as happened last February 23, when the Calabrians prevailed thanks to a goal by Pittarello at 75'. This, however, will be a completely different match, and, despite the advantage, Spezia must absolutely not lower their guard, while Catanzaro has the duty to believe in order to close the season without regrets.
