Venice-Cagliari, the probable formations

After Roma-Parma, Sunday of the 17th day of Serie A gives another very important salvation clash between Venezia and Cagliari. Kickoff at 3 p.m. at the Pierluigi Penzo Stadium. The lagunari will try to hit their third consecutive useful result, while the rossoblù will try to break a series of three knockouts in a row between the league and Coppa Italia.

Di Francesco should confirm Pohjanpalo as center forward, with Oristanio and Busio as trequartisti. In the midfield, trust Nicolussi Caviglia and Andersen, with Ellertsson and Zampano as full-band outsiders.

Nicola, on the other hand, should relaunch Piccoli in the center of the attack. Behind the former Lecce man will act Viola, Gaetano and Zortea. In defense, space for Luperto and Mina as a central pair and Zappa and Augello as full-backs.

Probable lineups

VENEZIA (3-4-2-1): Stankovic; Altare, Idzes, Sverko; Zampano, Nicolussi Caviglia, Andersen, Ellertsson; Oristanio, Busio; Pohjanpalo. Coach: Di Francesco. 

CAGLIARI (4-2-3-1): Sherri; Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Augello; Makoumbou, Marin; Zortea, Gaetano, Viola; Piccoli. Coach: Nicola.
