It's the day of days. The challenge with Südtirol could change the history of the Cagliari championship which - after having debunked the away taboo in a big way - aims for fourth place in the standings, if not even third, occupied by the Bolzano team and currently six points away.
In short, a thrilling direct clash at the Unipol Domus, sold out for days and an impregnable fort for the rossoblùs who have won seven of their last eight games (they haven't lost at home in practice since October).
The eleven from Reggio Calabria were confirmed en bloc by Ranieri, and it could not have been otherwise: then Radunovic in goal, Zappa, Dossena, Obert and Azzi in defence, Nandez, Makoumbou and Lella in midfield, Mancosu in the trocar behind the duo Lapadula-Preelec attack.
And if the rossoblù are healthy, let alone Südtirol, the team that has won the most points in 2023 and also the only unbeaten one. The former Bisoli (he played for Cagliari from 1991 to 1997 and also coached him for twelve games in 2010) the great creator, and for the occasion the coach from Porretta Terme will rely on Poluzzi, De Col, Zaro, Masiello, Celli, Rover, Fiordilino, Curto, Siega, Mazzocchi and Odogwu.
The kick-off at 2.00 pm is refereed by the Apulian Prontera (but from the Bologna section). No, it's not a game like any other.
