The defeat against Atalanta in this 16th matchday and the subsequent victories of Como, Verona and Lecce relegate Cagliari to the third-last place in the championship. But the direct competitors for salvation are there within a whisker of points and for the rossoblù there is plenty of time to resume the positive pace interrupted by the two defeats against Fiorentina and Dea.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday evening Nicola's team will be playing in Turin against Juventus for the round of 16 match . The Sardinian coach could use the match against the Bianconeri to relaunch Marin and Gaetano from the first minute , two players who still, for one reason or another, have not given the team the quality and continuity that the coach expects from them. Viola is also on the launch pad. In defense, however, Nicola could give Mina and Luperto a rest to make room for Wieteska and Palomino.

After the Cup interlude, the rossoblù will immediately focus on the championship: Sunday will see them travel to Venice, which will be crucial to recover and collect important points.
