Serie A line-ups: Cagliari vs. Atalanta | OneFootball

Mateo Retegui returns to the starting XI for surprise Serie A leaders Atalanta, as they visit Roberto Piccoli’s Cagliari.

It kicks off at the Unipol Domus in Sardinia at 14.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Udinese-Napoli and Juventus-Venezia on the Liveblog.

La Dea are the form team in Italy and surged to the top of the table after their ninth consecutive victory.

They were also in action midweek, losing 3-2 to Real Madrid in the Champions League, but still in a strong position for a top eight finish.

Juan Cuadrado, Giorgio Scalvini and Gianluca Scamacca are still not fully fit, but Capocannoniere Retegui comes back to the starting XI after several games on the bench.

Ademola Lookman and Marten de Roon are rested, so Marco Brescianini and Charles De Ketelaere complete the attack.

Cagliari were only narrowly beaten 1-0 by Fiorentina last week, ending a three-match unbeaten run that included a 3-3 thriller with Milan and 2-2 away to Patrick Vieira’s Genoa.

Coach Davide Nicola has a full squad at his disposal, including Atalanta-owned striker Piccoli and winger Nadir Zortea.
