A new direct confrontation, yes, this time in terms of salvation, however. Four days after the defeat in Terni, Cagliari are back on the pitch at the Unipol Domus against Perugia, last in the standings but growing and unbeaten in four games (not conceding a goal, among other things, for 315 minutes).
Fiery challenge for the rossoblùs, who have not won for eight days and have gone from hoping to hang up the playoff train sooner or later to the specter of Serie C. "Only the three points count", coach Liverani clearly said in the conference yesterday's press. And to conquer them, he will initially rely on Radunovic, Zappa, Capradossi, Obert, Barreca, Nandez, Makoumbou, Deiola, Falco, Lapadula and Pavoletti, presumably deployed through the 4-3-1-2 formation. Therefore, Nandez returns from disqualification. Still unavailable Rog and Mancosu. Di Pardo is out due to adductor fatigue. The Lapadula-Pavoletti duo reassembles in attack.
Even the Umbrians cannot afford further missteps. The eleven to break the ice will be Gori, Sgarbi, Curado, Dell'Orco, Casasola, Santoro, Olivieri, Paz, Kouan, Iannoni and Strizzolo. Therefore, the great ex Melchiorri starts from the bench. It is the opening match of the seventeenth day of the Serie B championship. Kick-off at 12.30.
