**Cagliari, Italy -** Cagliari and Monza face off in a vital Serie A match on Sunday at 11:30 GMT, with both teams battling for survival. Cagliari, currently three points above the relegation zone, will look to extend that lead to six with a victory at home. Monza, sitting at the bottom of the table with 15 points, are desperate for points to avoid relegation.

Cagliari manager Claudio Ranieri has made two changes to the starting XI following their loss to Roma, bringing in Tommaso Augello and Mattia Felici for Adam Obert and Alessandro Deiola respectively. Monza, after drawing with Parma, have made only one alteration, with Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro replacing Kevin Zeroli in midfield. Defender Armando Izzo retains his place after being cleared of match-fixing allegations earlier this week.

The match promises a thrilling encounter, with Cagliari fielding a 3-4-2-1 formation and Monza opting for a 3-5-2. The full line-ups are as follows:

**Cagliari:** (3-4-2-1): Caprile; Palomino, Mina, Luperto; Zortea, Adopo, Prati, Augello; Viola, Felici; Piccoli.
