It's a grand final, as Fabio Pisacane made clear in his presentation press conference . Cagliari-Cremonese, today at 3 p.m., is a crucial piece of survival at stake: if the Rossoblu, winless since January 31st and coming off four consecutive defeats, get back on track, they'll be able to break out of the crisis, otherwise the situation would be even more complex. To get out of the quicksand, the coach is banking on Gennaro Borrelli: he's been out for the entire season, returning last Saturday in Reggio Emilia against Sassuolo. He'll be supported by Sebastiano Esposito and Michael Folorunsho, in what could be a 4-3-3.

It's been a complex week, with the training camp starting on Monday (Easter Monday) and only interrupted between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. From the Crai Sport Center in Assemini, the options emerging are Juan Rodríguez and Yerry Mina, while the returning Alberto Dossena sits on the bench. In midfield, Luca Mazzitelli joins Alessandro Deiola and Gianluca Gaetano (Michel Adopo is out). Marco Giampaolo's Cremonese, without Jamie Vardy, will feature former great Sebastiano Luperto: his last match with Cagliari was on January 31st, against Verona . That was his last victory.

These are the official lineups for Cagliari-Cremonese: referee Daniele Doveri (Roma 1 section) , on the pitch at 3pm. It will be possible to follow the match live on unionesarda.it, and live radio commentary from Unipol Domus (sold out expected) on Radiolina with pre- and post-match coverage .
