Cagliari vs Roma: probable line-ups and where to watch on TV

Cagliari vs Roma: probable line-ups and where to watch on TV

Roma coach Daniele De Rossi will start three new signings against Davide Nicola’s Cagliari, but Paulo Dybala will go on the bench.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET (18:45 GMT) at the Unipol Domus in Cagliari.

Giallorossi star Dybala will be on the bench for Roma’s first Serie A game in 2024-25. La Joya is currently in talks with Saudi side Al Quadsiah, and Roma are pushing for a transfer mainly for financial reasons.

However, De Rossi can rely on three new signings in Sardinia as he’ll start Enzo Le Fée in central midfield, Matias Soulé and Artem Dovbyk in attack.

Leandro Paredes is suspended, while Rick Karsdorp is out of De Rossi’s project. Therefore, Bryan Cristante and Lorenzo Pellegrini will complete a three-man midfielder and Zeki Celik will start on the right flank in defence.

Cagliari are without the suspended Yerry Mina and the injured Jakub Jankto, Nadir Zortea and Nicolas Viola.

Nicola is expected to start Roberto Piccoli and Zito Luvumbo up front.

Cagliari vs Roma will be broadcast live on Paramount+ in the USA. BeIN Sports has Serie A rights in Australia and New Zealand. Serie A fans in the UK and Ireland can watch the match on TNT Sports or pay-per-view on OneFootball for £4.99.

Cagliari (3-5-2): Scuffet; Zappa, Wieteska, Luperto; Felici, Deiola, Prati, Marin, Augello; Luvumbo, Piccoli.

Roma (4-3-3): Svilar; Celik, Mancini, N’Dicka, Angelino; Le Fee, Cristante, Pellegrini; Soulé, Dovbyk, El Shaarawy.
