Cagliari is preparing to host Juventus at the Unipol Domus on Sunday evening, with the aim of maintaining their top position in the standings and consolidating their presence in the important areas. The match, scheduled for 8.45pm, represents the last of the three matches of the 6th day of Serie A. For the Bianconeri, the victory is crucial to confirm their position in the top areas of the table.
Cagliari coach Fabio Pisacane has announced a lineup in which new signing Massolin, who arrived from Inter in the summer, will make his first team debut. The Frenchman should occupy the attacking midfield position, while the midfield will be completed by the new Italian Romano. The national team, however, was recovered with Maldini, who will be deployed from the 1st minute behind Mendy. Cagliari's goalkeeper, Caprile, remains on the pitch, while the defense is made up of Zé Pedro, Mina, Rodríguez and Obert. In midfield, Adopo, Winks and Romano form the intermediate line, with Massolin and Maldini in the attacking midfield role. Mendy is the last defender in line. As reserves, Pisacane selected Sherri, Radunovic, Kevin Carlos, Fazzini, Deiola, Nzola, Ciervo, Gagliardini, Kofler, Aurelio, Liteta, Sugawara, Sulev, Sugamele and Fadera.
For Juventus, Luciano Spalletti opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation. The goalkeeper is Vicario, while the defense is made up of Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi and Celik. The midfield is made up of Douglas Luiz and Sarr, with the battle for the attacking midfield position between the recently renewed Nico Gonzalez and Alajbegovic. In attack, captain Kolo Muani was selected as the sole striker. As reserves, Spalletti has foreseen Pinsoglio, Radu, Gatti, Kelly, Koopmeiners, Zhegrova, Alajbegovic, Cambiaso, Rugani, Woltemade and Cabal.
Both teams presented reserve lines with players who could enter the field if necessary. Cagliari has made a series of defenders and centre-backs available, while Juventus has provided a large group of reserves to cover all positions. The match promises to be a decisive match for both teams, with Cagliari trying to maintain their leadership and Juventus aiming to confirm their position in the top areas of the table.
