Venue: Unipol Domus, Cagliari – 7 March 2026, Serie A Regular Season Round 28. Cagliari arrive 13th on 30 points, while Como sit 5th with 48 points and the league’s fifth‑best attack (44 goals).
Cagliari Availability
The hosts have significant absences. Andrea Belotti is ruled out with a knee injury, removing an experienced attacking option, while midfielder Marco Felici is also sidelined by a knee problem. Luca Mazzitelli is out through injury, further thinning the midfield. Up front, Gabriele Borrelli is doubtful with a thigh injury and faces a late fitness test. Midfielders Alessandro Deiola and Gianluca Gaetano are also doubtful. On the creative side, Sebastiano Esposito (3 goals, 5 assists) is fit and should carry much of the attacking burden, supported by Marco Palestra, who is available with 1 goal and 4 assists from midfield.
Como Availability
Como’s only confirmed absentee is attacker J. Addai, ruled out with an Achilles tendon injury. Otherwise, their main offensive core is fully available: Nicolás Paz (9 goals, 6 assists), Tasos Douvikas (9 goals, 1 assist) and Jesús Rodríguez (1 goal, 7 assists) are all ready, along with Máximo Perrone and Maxence Caqueret (both on 2 goals, 4 assists).
Cagliari lose depth and balance in attack and midfield, while Como retain virtually all of their 44‑goal attacking output, giving the visitors a clear edge in offensive resources.
