Genoa-Cagliari, the probable lineups of the Serie B advance.

Genoa-Cagliari, probable formations

On Friday at 8:30 p.m. Genoa and Cagliari take on Genoa’s Luigi Ferraris stadium for the eighth day of Serie B, in a match that means a lot to both: the Sardinians want to forget their last two league defeats and the Ligurian red and blues hope to continue to stay in the wake of the leaders.

Blessin’s men come from two consecutive successes, against Modena and Spal, and he wants to continue to stay in the upper zones of the standings.

The islanders need to bounce back after the ugly defeat against Venezia, plus Marko Rog, who remained in Sardinia, will not be in the match.

The likely lineups:

GENOA (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Hefti, Bani, Dragusin, Pajac; Freundrup, Strootman; Gudmundsson, Portanova, Yalcin; Coda. Coach: Blessin.

Available: Semper, Agostino, Czyborra, Sabelli, Vogliacco, Touré, Ilsanker, Jagiello, Puscas, Aramu, Yeboah

CAGLIARI (4-3-2-1) Radunovic; Zappa, Goldaniga, Altare, Obert; Makoumbou, Deiola, Viola; Nandez, Mancosu; Lapadula. Coach: Liverani.

Available: Aresti, Ciocci, Capradossi, Carboni, Di Pardo, Dossena, Lella, Falco, Luvumbo, Millico, Pavoletti, Pereiro.
