Serie A 2023-2024: Cagliari-Sassuolo, the likely lineups
Cagliari-Sassuolo, the probable formations
The second Monday night postponement of the 15th day will pit Cagliari and Sassuolo against each other. Kickoff at the Unipol Domus at 8:45 pm. The islanders will try to score points to move away from the hot zone of the standings, while the Emilians will try to get a result to get closer to mid-table.
Ranieri is expected to rely on the offensive tandem composed of Lapadula and Luvumbo, with Viola as a trequartista. In defense, the central pair will be Goldaniga and Dossena, with Augello and one of Zappa and Nandez on the side lanes. Should the Blue win the ballot, the Uruguayan would still find a starting jersey in the middle of the field.
Dionisi, on the other hand, will have to deal with the disqualifications of Berardi and Boloca. In attack there will be; Pinamonti as center forward, with Laurienté, Bajrami and Castillejo acting on the three-quarter. In the median there will be space for Thorstvedt and Matheus Henrique.
