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

Torino returns in front of its own public with the goal of giving continuity to the external victory obtained against Sassuolo. At the Olimpico Grande Torino arrives a Cagliari in full emergency, determined, however, to sell their skins to move a complicated ranking. The challenge pits two teams experiencing different moments against each other, but both aware of the’importance of each point.

Baroni seems intent on confirming en bloc the eleven that started in Reggio Emilia. The 3-5-2 granata will restart with Paleari between the posts and the defensive line composed of Tameze, Maripan and Ismajli. On the outsides Pedersen and Lazaro will provide push and cover, while in the middle Asllani, Gineitis and Vlasic will form the heart of the game. In attack, space again for the Adams-Zapata pair, with the Colombian favored over Simeone.

Cagliari’s Pisacane, on the other hand, arrives with a long list of absentees: in addition to Luvumbo and Liteta engaged in the African Cup of Nations, Mina, Rodriguez, Folorunsho, Felici and Belotti will also be missing. However, the red and blue coach will reintroduce the 3-5-2: in midfield Prati and Gaetano will be the technical references, while forward Esposito will be flanked by Borrelli, favored in the ballot with Kilicsoy.
