It's early time at Unipol Domus, with Cagliari-Lazio scheduled for 8:45 PM. For the match on the twenty-sixth day of Serie A , Fabio Pisacane is banking on Semih Kılıçsoy to get back on track after two consecutive defeats . The Turkish striker returns to the starting lineup after starting Monday night's match against Lecce on the bench due to a gastrointestinal virus. He will be joined by Marco Palestra and Sebastiano Esposito, in what is expected to be a 4-3-3 formation.
Michael Folorunsho is still missing from midfield, having been left out despite his return to the squad (he was injured against Pisa exactly two months ago). Alessandro Deiola and Gianluca Gaetano will also be missing, as they face a major emergency due to several unavailable players. Adopo, Mazzitelli, and Sulemana are the mandatory trio, while in defense, Alberto Dossena and Zé Pedro are the other returns (preferred to Juan Rodríguez and Gabriele Zappa) in the back four alongside Yerry Mina and Adam Obert. For the Biancocelesti, Mattia Zaccagni surprisingly started from the start, having recovered at the last minute.
Here are the official lineups for Cagliari-Lazio : the teams will take to the field at 8:45 PM under the command of referee Antonio Rapuano of the Rimini team . You can follow the match live on unionesarda.it and the full radio commentary (including pre- and post-match coverage) on Radiolina.
