Fiorentina vs Cagliari Team News & Lineups
Both Paolo Vanoli and Fabio Pisacane have crucial decisions to make as they look to steer their respective clubs away from the relegation zone. Injuries and tactical shifts will play a major role in how this game unfolds.
Fiorentina Team News
The Viola are finally finding some stability under manager Paolo Vanoli, shifting to a 4-3-3 system that utilizes their pace on the wings. In goal, the experienced David de Gea continues to marshal the defense. However, the backline remains depleted with Fabiano Parisi (hamstring) and Tariq Lamptey (ACL) ruled out, meaning Robin Gosens and Dodo will operate as the full-backs.
In midfield, Rolando Mandragora is the key figure; he is the club’s top scorer this season with six goals and provides a goal-scoring threat from deep. Up front, all eyes will be on Roberto Piccoli. The striker, who had his best scoring season with Cagliari last year, will lead the line against his former club, supported by Albert Gudmundsson and Manor Solomon. Moise Kean is available but may start from the bench given Piccoli’s recent form.
Predicted Fiorentina XI (4-3-3):
De Gea; Dodo, Comuzzo, Pongracic, Gosens; Mandragora, Fagioli, Ndour; Solomon, Piccoli, Gudmundsson.
Cagliari Team News
Cagliari manager Fabio Pisacane arrives in Florence with renewed confidence after a stunning 1-0 victory over Juventus. He is expected to stick with the 3-5-2 formation that stifled the Bianconeri. Elia Caprile will start in goal behind a defensive trio led by the robust Yerry Mina and Sebastiano Luperto.
The Sardinians are without several squad players, including Andrea Belotti, Alessandro Deiola, and Michael Folorunsho due to injury. The attacking burden will fall on Gianluca Gaetano and the young talent Semih Kilicsoy (or potentially Sebastiano Esposito), as they look to exploit Fiorentina on the counter-attack. The wing-backs, likely Palestra and Obert, will be tasked with pinning back Fiorentina’s adventurous full-backs.
Predicted Cagliari XI (3-5-2):
Caprile; Ze Pedro, Mina, Luperto; Palestra, Adopo, Mazzitelli, Gaetano, Obert; Esposito, Kilicsoy.
Match Stats & Form Guide
While the league table suggests a tight contest, historical data and home advantage point towards the hosts. Fiorentina have turned the Franchi into a difficult venue for Cagliari in recent years.
- Viola Dominance: Fiorentina are undefeated in their last 10 Serie A matches against Cagliari (6 wins, 4 draws). The last time Cagliari won at the Franchi was back in 2019.
- Defensive Fortress: Fiorentina have kept a clean sheet in their last 5 consecutive home matches against Cagliari.
- Away Day Blues: Cagliari’s travel sickness is a major concern for Pisacane; the Islanders have won only 4 of their last 28 away matches in Serie A.
- Recent Revival: Fiorentina have picked up 3 wins in their last 6 games, collecting 10 points in that period, which is form worthy of a top-half team rather than a relegation battler.
- Mandragora’s Impact: Rolando Mandragora has been involved in 25 goals (15G, 10A) since joining Fiorentina, making him the highest-scoring Italian central midfielder for the club in that period.
