This is a big fixture in two different races, as while Cagliari are still in the bottom three, they have clawed their way back towards potential safety with wins over Parma and Udinese.
Considering Benevento and Spezia already lost this weekend, it’s a huge opportunity for the Sardinians to catch up.
Radja Nainggolan is suspended, while Alessio Cragno and Gaston Pereiro are out with COVID-19.
Joao Pedro is partnered by Leonardo Pavoletti, leaving Giovanni Simeone on the bench.
Roma have to pick their battles at this stage, as they’ve fallen too far behind the race for the top four and are preparing for the Europa League semi-final with Manchester United.
Roger Ibanez sits out a ban, with Pedro, Riccardo Calafiori and Nicolò Zaniolo injured.
Borja Mayoral gets the nod upfront this time, suggesting Edin Dzeko will start against Manchester United.
He is supported by Carles Perez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, with Leonardo Spinazzola still not ready to start.
