A trio of American players are set for involvement in the Serie B promotion playoffs.
Tanner Tessmann, Gianluca Busio, and Kristoffer Lund all concluded their regular season schedules on Friday, sealing top-eight finishes with their respective clubs. Tessmann and Busio missed out on automatic promotion following a 2-1 road loss to Spezia while Lund and Palermo finished sixth in the table are earning a 1-0 road win over Sudtirol.
Palermo will take on Sampdoria in a two-legged playoff series, with the winner advancing to take on Venezia over two legs.
Lund, 21, has enjoyed a leading role in his first Serie B campaign, totaling 35 appearances, two goals, and two assists. The versatile fullback made his U.S. men’s national team debut last year and has remained an option for Gregg Berhalter this summer.
The 22-year-old Tessmann has made 37 league appearances for Venezia, contributing six goals and three assists. A former FC Dallas academy player, Tessmann has been key in midfield alongside Busio.
Busio, 21, added seven goals and four assists in 37 league appearances, continuing to develop as an attacking midfielder. The former Sporting KC homegrown has been one of the better midfielders in Serie B this season and certainly one of the best for Venezia.
Parma won the Serie B title on 76 points while Nicholas Gioacchini and Como finished second with 73 points.
