2026-2027 Serie A: Cagliari vs. Juventus, Probable Lineups

Cagliari vs. Juventus, a match for Matchday 6 of the 2026-27 Serie A season, will be played on Sunday, October 11, at 8:45 p.m. at the Unipol Domus. The Bianconeri are looking to pick up points to solidify their title hopes, but they’ll have to contend with an opponent that managed to come out on top in their last head-to-head matchup. Cagliari, in fact, won 1-0 on January 17, ending a streak of nine consecutive winless matches against Juventus—a stretch that included two draws and seven losses.

Cagliari is expected to line up in a 4-4-2 formation. Caprile will be in goal, protected by Zè Pedro, Mina, Rodriguez, and Obert. In midfield, Adopo, Winks, Romano, and Fazzini are set to start, while the attacking duo is expected to consist of Maldini and Mendy. Coach Pisacane will have to do without several unavailable players, but he has no suspended players.

Juventus is expected to respond with a 4-2-3-1 formation designed by Spalletti. Vicario is expected to start in goal, with Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumì, and Celik forming the defensive line. Sarr and Douglas Luiz are expected to play in midfield, while McKennie, Nico Gonzalez, and Conceicao are expected to play behind lone striker Kolo Muani. The Bianconeri will have to deal with several absences and Neto’s suspension.

Probable lineups:

Cagliari (4-4-2): Caprile; Zé Pedro, Mina, Rodriguez, Obert; Adopo, Winks, Romano, Fazzini; Maldini, Mendy. Coach: Pisacane.

Juventus (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumì, Celik; Sarr, Douglas Luiz; McKennie, Nico Gonzalez, Conceicao; Kolo Muani. Coach: Spalletti.
