After their victory over Roma, Cagliari are looking for another solid result against Atalanta. At 8:45 PM, Fabio Pisacane's team heads to the New Balance Arena, aiming to build on last Sunday's achievements . To do so, the coach has retained Juan Rodríguez, who performed well on his Serie A debut, in a three-man defense alongside Gabriele Zappa and Sebastiano Luperto. This is because Yerry Mina is out again .
On the flank, Marco Palestra, the great former player (on loan) who was a particular target this evening, will remain untouched . Inter have been rumored to be interested in him in recent hours, but his current status is decidedly rossoblù. Adam Obert will be on the left. In midfield, Michel Adopo will be joined by Alessandro Deiola and Michael Folorunsho (fresh from the controversy surrounding his insults to Mario Hermoso), while Sebastiano Esposito and Gennaro Borrelli will be up front.
Here are the official lineups for Atalanta-Cagliari : kick-off is at 8:45 PM, with Davide Di Marco of the Ciampino section as referee. Watch the match live on unionesarda.it, and Lele Casini will provide live pre- and post-match commentary on Radiolina.
