Serie A 2025-2026: Cagliari-Pisa, the likely lineups

At lunchtime (12:30 p.m.), Cagliari-Pisa, a classic salvation challenge, valid for the 16th day of Serie A, goes on stage. The Sardinians have 15 points in the standings, +5 over the Tuscans, currently second-last with 10 points and just one win this season.

Cagliari coach Pisacane seems intent on reintroducing Mina, now recovered, at the center of the defense. Up front, space is given to the Gaetano-Esposito duo. Among the Pisa ranks weighs the absence of Nzola, currently in the Africa Cup of Nations (but also disqualified). Up front, alongside Moreo, should be Meister.

In terms of precedent, it should be highlighted that Pisa has won only once against Cagliari in the top flight in six face-to-face matches. Two the Sardinians’ victories, three the draws. The Tuscans, moreover, have lost their last three matches without scoring a single goal.

Probable lineups

Cagliari (3-5-2):Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Luperto; Palestra, Adopo, Deiola, Folorunsho, Obert; Gaetano, Esposito. All. Pisacane.

Pisa (3-5-2):Semper; Calabresi, Caracciolo, Canestrelli; Tourè, Marin, Aebischer, Vural, Leris; Moreo, Meister. All. Gilardino.
