Roma will face Cagliari at the Olimpico at 8.45pm with a series of lineup changes that herald a rotational approach from Gasperini. The Rome team, in view of the next three matches before the break, has decided to give space to several players, in particular in attack. The young Malen, who had played a leading role in the last few matches, will be relegated to the bench, while Santiago Castro will take his place in the offensive line. Koulierakis, who had played as a full-back, will finally be able to start in place of Hermoso, while the defense will be completed by Mancini and Ndicka. Balerdi, however, will not be present on the pitch.
In the midfield, Roma will see the absence of Mora, while Soule and Cristante will continue to play in the midfield. Pisilli and De Roon will be the two central defenders who will lead the central area. In defense, the team will have Gollini at the last position, with Mancini and Ndicka covering the sidelines.
Cagliari, however, decided not to include Daniel Maldini and Mendy in the lineup. Coach Pisacane opted for a 3‑5‑2, with the attacking pair of Fadera and Nzola. Goalkeeper Caprile will remain in last place, while the line of three hundred will be made up of Zé Pedro, Mina and Rodríguez. The midfield will be made up of Sugawara, Deiola, Romano, Adopo and Obert.
The official lineups, published by ScoreLens, therefore show Roma with the following composition: Gollini; Mancini, Ndicka, Koulierakis; Lulli, Pisilli, De Roon, Molina; Soule, Cristante; Castro. Cagliari, on the other hand, presents: Caprile; Zé Pedro, Mina, Rodríguez; Sugawara, Deiola, Romano, Adopo, Obert; Fadera, Nzola. With these choices, both teams prepare for a match that promises to be decisive before the break, with Roma trying to consolidate their position in the standings and Cagliari trying to recover important points.
