Cagliari are in a tight spot for the match against Lecce, with Fabio Pisacane forced to make another change to his lineup. After using the same eleven for three consecutive victories, the coach was forced to make changes last Monday against Roma, and he's doing the same for tonight's match (8:45 PM) . Starting with the attack, where Semih Kılıçsoy is also sidelined (he's on the bench), having been battling a gastrointestinal virus in recent days. This gives Leonardo Pavoletti a chance, chasing his first goal of the season against Di Francesco, with whom he hadn't connected in 2020-21. He'll feature captain Sebastiano Esposito, plus wingers Marco Palestra on the right and Riyad Idrissi on the left.
There will also be problems at the back, where Zé Pedro (recovering from a calf problem) will eventually partner Yerry Mina . In midfield, Ibrahim Sulemana will start for the first time since his return in January. He replaces Gianluca Gaetano, who is expected to be out for three weeks with an injury sustained in recent days. Gabriele Zappa and Adam Obert will be the full-backs: a probable 4-2-3-1 formation.
Here are the official lineups for Cagliari-Lecce: the match kicks off at 8:45 PM, with Ermanno Feliciani of the AIA Teramo refereeing the match . Unionesarda.it will feature live coverage of the late matchday twenty-fifth of Serie A , while Radiolina will feature Lele Casini's radio commentary from Unipol Domus, along with pre- and post-match commentary.
