Cagliari, in a dire situation, are looking to beat Lecce and take another step towards safety. Tonight at 8:45 PM, a real clash will take place at Unipol Domus, in the finale of the twenty-fifth matchday of Serie A. The Rossoblù arrive here after last Monday's defeat to Roma, which ended their streak of three consecutive victories, while the Giallorossi (led by former manager Eusebio Di Francesco, who certainly didn't leave a good impression in Sardinia) beat Udinese 2-1. And Fabio Pisacane has several lineup issues, with Gianluca Gaetano certainly out and Zé Pedro likely .

The Portuguese is back in the squad for Cagliari-Lecce, but the calf strain that kept him out of training yesterday is more than a clue that he's unlikely to make it. Gabriele Zappa is expected to start, as is Yerry Mina, who has recovered (alongside him is Juan Rodríguez, favored over Alberto Dossena) . Riyad Idrissi will start high on the left in a possible 4-2-3-1, with Ibrahim Sulemana leading the way, fresh from positive substitute appearances against Verona (goal) and Roma (crossbar). Up front, Semih Kılıçsoy is expected to be a good option, despite being weakened all weekend by a gastrointestinal virus: the alternatives are captain Leonardo Pavoletti and Yael Trepy, given that Gennaro Borrelli is also out injured. Alessandro Deiola is also out, due to a recurrence of his January muscle problem.

Here are the probable lineups for Cagliari vs. Lecce: kick-off is at 8:45 PM at the Unipol Domus, with Ermanno Feliciani of the Teramo section as the referee . Live coverage of the match will be available on unionesarda.it, and live radio commentary, along with pre- and post-match coverage, will be available on Radiolina.

Cagliari (4-2-3-1): Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Juan Rodríguez, Obert; Adopo, Sulemana; Palestra, S. Esposito, Idrissi; Kılıçsoy. Coach Pisacane.
Lecce (4-2-3-1): Falcone; Veiga, Tiago Gabriel, Siebert, Gallo; Ramadani, L. Coulibaly; Pierotti, Gandelman, Sottil; Štulić. Coach Di Francesco.
