The two teams entered the field. Before the kick-off, a minute of silence will be observed in memory of Mattia Giani, a young player from the Tuscan Eccellenza team who died last Sunday following an illness on the pitch
Allegri’s choices: few surprises in the choices of the Livorno coach who still chooses the trio Danilo, Bremer, Gatti ahead of Szczesny. Weah will be the master of the right wing with Cambiaso diverted to the left, while in midfield the new feature is the presence of Alcaraz from the 1st minute in place of McKennie together with Rabiot and Locatelli. In front, the Chiesa – Vlahovic pair is featured again
Ranieri’s choices: the rossoblù coach opts for a three-man defence, with the surprise Hatzidiakos in the trio completed by Mina and Dossena. Nandez returns from suspension and takes back the right lane, Augello instead on the left with Sulemana and Makoumbou making up the midfield. Gaetano will be seen again in the attacking midfield, who will act behind the tandem formed by Shomurodov and Luvumbo
OFFICIAL JUVENTUS LINEUP: the Bianconeri respond with a 3-5-2: Szczesny – Gatti, Bremer, Danilo – Weah, Alcaraz, Locatelli, Rabiot, Cambiaso – Chiesa, Vlahovic
OFFICIAL CAGLIARI LINEUP: the hosts line up with a 3-4-1-2: Scuffet – Hatzidiakos, Mina, Dossena – Nandez, Sulemana Makoumbou, Augello – Gaetano, Luvumbo – Shomurodov
The race direction is entrusted to Marco Piccinini of the Forlì section, who will be assisted by assistants Baccini and Imperiale and by the fourth official Massimi. Chiffi and Valeri will operate in the Var room instead
Against Juve it will be just another of the seven finals that Cagliari will have to face between now and 26 May to hope for salvation. In the last three weeks, points of considerable specific weight have arrived for Ranieri’s team, capable of emerging from San Siro unscathed and winning at home against Atalanta. The rossoblù have been unbeaten at home since February 10th, when they were defeated by Lazio
A trip to Sardinia for the Bianconeri, in search of the missing points for the arithmetic qualification for the next Champions League, an objective simplified by the official status of the five Italian teams who will be able to access the top European competition from this season. Allegri’s team, fresh from the draw in the derby with Torino, have collected only six points in the last six games, and have not even won an away victory since January 21st at Lecce
Welcome to the live broadcast of Cagliari-Juventus, a match valid for the 33rd day of the Serie A championship!
