It will be a Sunday night of high tension in Serie B, with nine of the ten matches simultaneously at 20:45 after Atalanta's 2-3 success in yesterday's early match against Genoa . Among these, Cagliari-Venezia is worth a great piece of salvation for the rossoblù, who wasted the first two opportunities by losing against Udinese and Como and now want to close the matter with 90 minutes to spare as happened last season. Davide Nicola's team remains master of its own destiny: it is +5 on the third-last and second-last, namely Lecce and Empoli, and wants to try to avoid making the last day in Naples as decisive. Against that Venezia, of the former Eusebio Di Francesco and Gaetano Oristanio, who cost them Serie A three years ago.
To do so, the coach is counting on the return of Sebastiano Luperto and Yerry Mina in defense . The two defenders are among those called up , with the Colombian out with a muscle injury since April 23 against Fiorentina and his teammate who missed the trip to Como (he was on the bench) due to a discomfort that he overcame this week. Also available is Florinel Coman, the other now ex-unavailable player, who has overcome a problem with his Achilles tendon: he will go on the bench, in attack the pair formed by Zito Luvumbo and Roberto Piccoli . The formation could be a 3-5-2, with Răzvan Marin together with Michel Adopo and Antoine Makoumbou in the middle.
Kick-off at 8.45pm: the red and blues will be on the pitch with their new third shirt for next season , referee Luca Pairetto from the Nichelino section . Live coverage of the match on unionesarda.it, live radio commentary by Lele Casini from Unipol Domus on Radiolina and post-match commentary with all the comments . These are the probable lineups for Cagliari-Venezia.
Cagliari (3-5-2): Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Luperto; Luvumbo, Piccoli. Coach: Nicola.
Venice (3-5-2): Radu; Schingtienne, Idzes, Candé; Zerbin, Kike Pérez, Nicolussi Caviglia, Busio, Ellertsson; Oristanius, Yeboah. Coach: Di Francesco.
