Genoa-Cagliari is a match of the thirteenth day of Serie A and is played on Sunday at 12:30 p.m.: statistics, news, likely lineups, prediction, live TV, streaming.
Despite two useful results in a row with Parma and Como that led Genoa out of the red zone, the red club during the break decided to relieve Alberto Gilardino. A move perhaps out of time, since the promotion coach seemed to have succeeded in regaining the compactness that had been lacking previously (external win in Emilia, 0-1, and internal draw with Como, 1-1).
Fact is that on the Rossoblù bench, starting with the salvation clash with Cagliari, will be Patrick Vieira, at his first experience in the Italian league. The French-Senegalese coach has coached in France (Nice and Strasbourg) and England (Crystal Palace) and rediscovers that Serie A he had already tasted as a player (Milan, Juventus and Inter). Genoa is fourth-last but has only one point ahead of the relegation zone, the same situation as the Sardinians, also on 10 points. Davide Nicola’s men before the break had raised their heads again after three consecutive defeats by stopping AC Milan at the Unipol Domus (3-3) with the two outfielders Zappa (double) and Zortea as protagonists, and now they go on the hunt for confirmation against another team whose goal is salvation. Genoa and Cagliari in recent years have also faced each other in B, but to find an external success we have to go back to September 2021, when the Grifone won the three points in Sardinia.
Genoa-Cagliari: the latest lineup news
There is great uncertainty about the form Vieira will choose to face Cagliari, although the former midfielder in the past has frequently used 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. In any case, Vitinha and Messias are not yet available, while Vasquez will try to grit his teeth after the muscle problem suffered in the challenge with Como two weeks ago. Pinamonti and Ekhator should play in attack.
On the other side Nicola finds again two important pawns such as Mina and Adopo, both disqualified against Milan. In goal, Sherri could take the place of Scuffet, who appeared to be struggling in recent matches. Finally, on the three-quarter, Viola is slightly favored over gaetano.
