Serie A 2025-2026: Cagliari v Roma, the likely lineups
Cagliari and Roma face each other Sunday at 3 p.m. in the match valid for the 14th day of Serie A. The Sardinians are 15th in the standings and have not won in nine matches: the last success was in mid-September. Gasperini’s team wants to get right back on track after the loss to Napoli in the last round: if they win they would hook Inter on 30 points.
Pisacane is looking for the feat by relying on the Esposito-Borrelli tandem in attack. The flanks will be occupied by Palestra and Idrissi, while in the median there will be Deiola, Prati and Folorunsho.
In Roma, Dybala and Ferguson should start from the bench: Baldanzi will play from 1′ with Soulé and Pellegrini behind him. In midfield Cristante is paired with Koné, on the flanks will be Celik and Tsimikas.
Cagliari-Roma, the probable lineups
CAGLIARI (3-5-2): Caprile; Zappa, Rodriguez, Luperto; Palestra, Deiola, Prati, Folorunsho, Idrissi; Esposito, Borrelli. All. Pisacane.
ROMA (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso; Celik, Cristante, Koné, Tsimikas; Soulé, Pellegrini; Baldanzi. All. Gasperini
