Serie A's first midweek match of the season , Roma vs. Cagliari at 8:45 PM, kicking off a week at the Olimpico for the Rossoblu, who will return to the pitch on Sunday at 3 PM to face Lazio. Tonight, Fabio Pisacane— without Harry Winks, who was injured on Saturday —surprisingly left out Daniel Maldini, with Alieu Fadera (preferred to Jacopo Fazzini) and Zé Pedro (upper-back, with Yukinari Sugawara at right-back) coming in to support striker M'Bala Nzola. A clear change, with four new additions compared to Saturday.

Cagliari is called upon to bounce back, albeit against a top-level opponent like Roma, after two disappointing defeats against Monza and Bologna. Yael Trepy, who has been benched two and a half months after his swimming accident in Baja Sardinia, is the first player to make the league call-up . Alessandro Deiola, Michel Adopo, and Alessandro Romano will be captaining the midfield, while Yerry Mina regains his spot in defense .

Here are the official lineups for Roma-Cagliari: Ermanno Feliciani of the Teramo section will referee the match, with kick-off at 8:45 PM. Watch the match live on unionesarda.it, and Lele Casini will be providing live commentary from the Olimpico on Radiolina, with a pre-match link-up starting at 8:15 PM.
