Venue: Unipol Domus, Cagliari – 7 March 2026, Serie A (Regular Season - 28). Cagliari come in 13th on 30 points, while high-flying Como sit 5th with 48 points and chasing Europe.
Cagliari Availability
The hosts have significant absences. Andrea Belotti is ruled out with a knee injury, depriving Cagliari of an experienced attacking reference. Midfield options are further reduced with Marco Felici (knee injury) and Luca Mazzitelli (injury) also out. There are three doubtful players: forward Gennaro Borrelli (thigh injury), plus midfielders Alessandro Deiola and Gianluca Gaetano, both carrying injuries and facing late fitness tests. Creative threats Sebastiano Esposito (3 goals, 5 assists) and Marco Palestra (1 goal, 4 assists) are available and will be key to compensating for the missing depth.
Como Availability
Como travel with a largely intact squad. The only confirmed absentee is forward J. Addai, sidelined by an Achilles tendon injury. Their main attacking weapons are all fit: Nicolás Paz (9 goals, 6 assists), Tasos Douvikas (9 goals, 1 assist) and Jesús Rodríguez (1 goal, 7 assists) are all available, supported by creators Máximo Perrone and Maxence Caqueret (both on 2 goals, 4 assists).
Cagliari lose experience and rotation options but retain their primary creators, while Como arrive close to full strength, bringing a combined 19 goals and 18 assists from Paz, Douvikas and Rodríguez alone.
