Serie A 2024-2025: Roma-Cagliari, the likely lineups

Roma-Cagliari, the probable formations

Roma hosts Cagliari in the 29th day of Serie A. Kickoff at 4 p.m. at the Stadio Olimpico. After the elimination with Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League, the Giallorossi want to resume their race to Europe in the league where they are chasing their sixth consecutive victory. The Rossobl'ows, 15th in the standings at +4 on the relegation zone, on the other hand, have not won in more than a month in Serie A.

Ranieri will not be able to count on Celik in defense: in his place is Rensch, with Mancini and N'Dicka completing the backline. In midfield Koné and Cristante, ahead of Paredes, with Saelemaekers and Angelino on the outsides. In attack, Shomurodov is ahead of Dovbyk, with Soulé and Baldanzi in the three-quarter, given Dybale’s less-than-optimal condition and the fever that has stranded Pellegrini.

For Nicola, the main doubt è between Viola and Gaetano on the three-quarter; in defense, forced choices with Palomino, Mina and Luperto. Zortea and Augello will operate as outfielders in midfield, while Prati will play a shirt with Deiola in the role of wing-half. Piccoli will be deployed as the center forward.
