At 20.45 Cagliari-Lazio closes the twenty-third day of Serie A. After the misstep of ten days ago in Turin, which Davide Nicola attributed largely to tiredness from the effort against Lecce, now the rossoblù have certainly not had little time to recover. Unlike the biancocelesti, who concluded the championship phase of the Europa League on Thursday ( an inconsequential defeat against Braga, with first place already defined, with a large turnover ). Reason why most of the team seen at work in the positive series will return, which allowed them to leave the relegation zone (now one point away, regardless of tonight's result).
Compared to the 4-2-3-1 seen for some time, there could be a tactical innovation by Nicola for Cagliari-Lazio : 4-3-3. With an extra midfielder, Alessandro Deiola, combined with the return of Michel Adopo and Antoine Makoumbou. This means there will be no attacking midfielder: neither Gianluca Gaetano nor Nicolas Viola . And obviously there won't be Florinel Coman either, the new signing who arrived this morning in Sardinia (and still to be made official) . Behind him it's up to Yerry Mina, who has a big revenge to take: in the first leg, in the highly contested 2-1 on November 4, the defender fell into Valentín Castellanos' trap and was sent off for a second yellow card, the second for an obvious simulation by the opponent with the referee who had no doubts despite being turned away (and gave the second yellow card - for protests - also to Michel Adopo leaving the rossoblù with nine men).
Today's referee will be Gianluca Manganiello, from the Pinerolo section . On unionesarda.it the live broadcast of the match, on Radiolina the live radio commentary from Lele Casini's Domus followed by the post-match with all the comments . These are the probable formations of Cagliari-Lazio.
Cagliari (4-3-3): Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Augello; Adopo, Makoumbou, Deiola; Zortea, Piccoli, Felici. Coach: Nicola.
Lazio (4-2-3-1): Provedel; Marušić, Gila, Romagnoli, Hysaj; Rovella, Guendouzi; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos. Coach: Baroni.
