Cagliari, without Yerry Mina, will line up with Gabriele Zappa alongside Sebastiano Luperto to face Juventus. Fabio Pisacane will wear the number 28 in place of the Colombian defender, who remained in Sardinia recovering from a concussion that prevented him from being included in the squad. This is a significant absence for the 6:00 PM kickoff at the Allianz Stadium, where (in addition to the long-term absentees Andrea Belotti and Zé Pedro) Luca Mazzitelli and Marko Rog will also be missing as midfield options.
Cagliari's formation could be a 4-3-2-1. A muscular midfield featuring Michel Adopo and Joseph Liteta alongside Alessandro Deiola , with both Gianluca Gaetano and Matteo Prati left out. Up front, alongside Gennaro Borrelli, fresh from his brace against Genoa, are Sebastiano Esposito and Michael Folorunsho.
