Serie A 2025-2026: Cagliari-Hellas Verona, the likely lineups

In Sunday’s packed soccer schedule (here, continuously updated, the probable formations of numerous matches that will be played throughout Europe on the day) there is also room for Cagliari-Hellas Verona, a challenge valid for the 23rd day of the championship.

.

Fabio Pisacane’s team is around mid-table and is fresh from two prestigious victories against Juventus and Fiorentina.

The Sardinians are healthy and will try to make a full haul against Paolo Zanetti’s team as well. The Rossoblù lineup is expected to rely on the Esposito-Kiliçsoy duo in attack, while Palestra and Mazzitelli will act on the flanks. In front of Caprile, a three-man defense with Zé Pedro, Mina and Luperto.

L’Hellas Verona is struggling with some injuries and for the challenge against the Sardinians will not be able to count on Suslov, Bella-Kotchap, Belghali, Akpa-Akpro and Kastanos. Doubtful in defense: Valentini is favored over Ebosse but Zanetti will decide at the last minute. In the middle of the field Serdar and Bradaric will fight with Niasse and Frese for a starting shirt, in front the Orban-Sarr tandem.
