Roma is preparing to challenge Cagliari with a lineup that includes Paulo Dybala returning to the bench and Moussa Ndicka resting. Coach Gasperini, worried about the physical and mental fatigue of the players after the tough match against Napoli, decided to introduce some rotations to keep the key players fresh. Goalkeeper Gollini is confirmed, while the defense remains uncertain: Mancini and Hermoso, who were on the bench against Slovan Bratislava and started in the last championship match, are considered in better shape than Ndicka, who has played all the matches so far. For this reason, Ndicka could be left on the bench, opening the door for Balerdi, who has shown great improvement in recent training sessions.
On the wing, Wesley could have a supporting role, with Molina ready to start from the first minute and Lulli presenting himself as a candidate for the opposite flank. In midfield, Cristante, de Roon and Pisilli compete for the two available places, with the possibility of a relay between the Dutchman and the number 61. In attack, Malen remains the anchor, while Castro is expected to start from the bench. Behind the Dutchman, Mora should join Soulé, with Dybala returning to the bench.
Cagliari, on the other hand, aims to recover the enthusiasm lost after the difficult matches against Monza and the Felsinei. Coach Fabio Pisacane has indicated a probability of 4‑3‑3, with Caprile in goal and a defense made up of Zé Pedro, Mina (who should replace Deiola), Rodriguez and Obert. In midfield, the usual Adopo and Romano, with Deiola replacing Winks. In attack, the main choice seems to be Fazzini, with Massolin and Nzola as alternatives, and the supporting role of Mendy and Maldini.
This match is crucial for both teams, as Roma look to consolidate their position in the table while Cagliari hopes to recover important points for the top of the table. Fans will be able to witness a match that promises to be competitive and strategic, with both teams trying to make the most of the rotations and formations offered.
