A sign of great trust that Di Francesco hopes to repay against his former team.So far manager Di Franscesco failed to engage the team and his football style has seen only in flashes.Cagliari will confirm the 4-3-2-1 with Simeone favored over Pavoletti in the role of lone striker. The Argentine will be assisted by Joao Pedro and Sottil on the trocar.Central midfield Duncan joined the team and campaign of reinforcements continue.

Not an easy moment for Sassuolo too . With only one point gainee between Juventus, Parma and Lazio, the 'Neroverdi' have moved away from the positions that matter, even surpassed by Verona.
