LIVE REPORT OF THE MATCH HERE

A win to reach Christmas by breaking the deadlock in the league table. That's what Cagliari is looking for at 12:30 PM against Pisa, in the match that kicks off the holiday season (where Serie A will have no break). After the unfortunate defeat in Bergamo, the Rossoblù are looking for immediate redemption in a real relegation battle. To do so, Fabio Pisacane has Yerry Mina back: the Colombian is back in the starting lineup, as anticipated in Friday's press conference . He will be joined by Juan Rodríguez, a key figure in the last month and preferred to Sebastiano Luperto.

Gennaro Borrelli has been called up for the match , despite suffering a sprained ankle eight days ago. The centre-forward, however, will start on the bench: in his striker role, Semih Kılıçsoy, a surprise starter and looking for his first Serie A goal, will be called up. He will be supported by Sebastiano Esposito and Michael Folorunsho in what is expected to be a 4-3-3 . Gianluca Gaetano, fresh from two consecutive goals, will also find a place in the starting eleven.

Cagliari-Pisa will kick off at 12.30: here are the official lineups, the referee is Francesco Fourneau of the Roma 1 section .
