Serie A relegation fighters Cagliari will take on table-topping Inter Milan in a ‘David vs Goliath’ clash at San Siro on Friday.
According to FCInterNews, visiting manager Fabio Pisacane will be without three first-team stars for this high-stakes showdown.
Sitting just six points clear of 18th-placed Lecce, the Islanders are fighting tooth and nail to stave off relegation.
Moreover, Pisacane’s side ended a dreadful four-game losing league streak with a precious 1-0 home win over Cremonese.
Indeed, Sebastiano Esposito’s second-half winner inspired Cagliari to their first Serie A victory since late January.
Cagliari to Face Inter Milan Without Three First-Team Stars
Needless to say, Pisacane needs all hands of deck as Cagliari bid to snap a disastrous run of 12 consecutive matches against Inter without winning.
Furthermore, their last Serie A win at San Siro came in October 2016, highlighting the size of the task awaiting them on Friday.
Unfortunately for the visitors, they will take this daunting trip without the likes of Luca Mazzitelli, Mattia Felici, and Riyad Idrissi.
Meanwhile, Sebastiano Esposito is likely to lead the line against his former club.
However, it’s uncertain who will partner up with the Italian striker, with Andrea Belotti emerging as a potential candidate to start alongside the ex-Inter ace.
