Nine months after one of the bloodiest relegations, Cagliari returns to the "fatal Venice" to dispel the away taboo (where they haven't won since 10 September) and thus try to shake up the standings.

Even at “Penzo” Ranieri will have to make a virtue of necessity. In addition to the usual unavailable players, there will also be no Lapadula, disqualified for one round after Bari's expulsion. Pavoletti and Deiola left together with the team, to give, however, more moral than technical support (they have not yet fully recovered from the respective injuries).

Initially, therefore, the Roman coach relies on Radunovic, Zappa, Goldaniga, Dossena, Obert, Kourfalidis, Makoumbou, Lella, Rog, Mancosu and Luvumbo.

On the other hand, paradoxically, colleague Vanoli has problems with abundance, who in turn chose to break the ice with Joronen, Svoboda, Hristov, Carboni, Zampano, Busio, Jajalo, Ellertsson, Candela, Pohjanpalo and Pierini. On the field from the first minute, therefore, the Tonarese Carboni, the other ex Ceppitelli starts from the bench.

Kick-off at 2pm, Friulian Zufferli referees for the first time for the rossoblùs. No, it's not a game like any other.
