Last match of the year at Unipol Domus. At 18:00 Cagliari-Inter will be played for the eighteenth day, the penultimate of the first half of the season. Before the relegation clash in Monza, another very delicate match on par with the one lost 2-1 in Venice, the rossoblù must face the reigning champions of the championship, third at -3 from the leaders Atalanta but with a game to make up. And it is precisely with the Bergamo team, next Friday, that they will play the semi-final of the Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.
For Davide Nicola, who yesterday in a press conference spoke of Inter as the "strongest team in the championship", the goal is to repeat the good performances recently seen by Cagliari against other big Serie A teams such as Atalanta and Fiorentina, while also scoring a few points and a few goals. The offensive department is one of the special teams to watch, also in view of the January transfer window : Roberto Piccoli is certain to be present, in support ( with Zito Luvumbo not being available, the only unavailable player ) more likely to be Nicolas Viola than Gianluca Gaetano, with Leonardo Pavoletti as a weapon during the match as in Venice where he scored his 50th goal in red and blue. The midfield trio should be Adopo-Makoumbou-Deiola, to draw a 3-5-1-1 that almost mirrors Simone Inzaghi's 3-5-2. In defense, Yerry Mina has recovered from the discomfort in his left calf and is regularly available.
Kick-off at 6pm, with the stadium sold out since well before Christmas with around 16,400 spectators expected. Daniele Doveri of the Roma 1 section will referee . Live coverage of the match on unionesarda.it, full radio commentary by Lele Casini from Domus on Radiolina and then the post-match with Luca Neri and all the comments . These are the probable lineups for Cagliari-Inter.
Cagliari (3-5-1-1): Sherri; Zappa, Mina, Luperto; Viola; Piccoli. Coach Nicola.
Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Bastoni, Carlos Augusto; Dumfries, Barella, Çalhanoğlu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; M. Thuram, Lautaro Martínez. Coach Inzaghi.
