Davide Nicola announced it yesterday in a press conference : there will be some changes for Udinese-Cagliari. This is because today's match (18:30 at the Bluenergy Stadium) is the first match in eleven days: on Tuesday, at the same time, the home match against Bologna in the only midweek round of Serie A, then on Monday 4 November at 20:45 away match at the Olimpico against Lazio.
Since Udinese are lining up with 3-5-1-1, a mirror formation is possible, after the 4-2-3-1 brought the turning point with the two victories and the draw in Turin with Juventus in the last three matchdays . A change of the entire midfield is possible: Marin-Prati-Deiola, with the latter who hasn't played against Cagliari for two months but who Nicola himself relaunched yesterday («An important player on whom we are counting, it is possible that he starts from the beginning»). Yerry Mina can rest in defense, up front Gianluca Gaetano in support of Roberto Piccoli .
Referee Gianluca Manganiello from the Pinerolo section . Kick-off is scheduled for 18:30 (first match of the Serie A weekend), on unionesarda.it it will be possible to follow the live broadcast with Radiolina live with Lele Casini's radio commentary from Udine and at the final whistle the post-match with all the comments . Below are the probable formations of Udinese-Cagliari.
Udinese (3-5-1-1): Okoye; Kabasele, Bijol, Touré; Ehizibue, Lovrić, Karlström, Payero, Zemura; Iker Bravo; Lucca. Coach Runjaić.
