Not even having time to digest the defeat against Milan and the solitary last place in the standings, Cagliari must already be thinking about the difficult match in Florence, scheduled for Monday 2 October at 8.45pm.

Today there were the referee appointments, Marco di Bello from the Brindisi section will referee the Franchi match.

The Apulian referee returns to Serie A after being stopped for a few weeks by the referee Gianluca Rocchi following the storm triggered by his refereeing in Juventus-Bologna. In the match valid for the second day of this championship, Di Bello did not give an obvious penalty to Bologna and a few minutes later Juventus, who were one goal down, found the equalizer thanks to Vlahovic's goal.

In his career, Di Bello has refereed 151 Serie A matches. He has refereed 17 of them for Cagliari, the last one last year in the promotion playoffs against Venezia. In the other 16, all in the top championship, the rossoblù cannot boast a good haul: 2 wins, 4 draws and 10 defeats.

On the other hand, the Viola have played nine matches directed by the Apulian whistleblower, all in Serie A: Fiorentina can boast a record of 5 victories (the last one last March at home against Milan), 3 draws and only one defeat.
