Cagliari preview: Lost last game
Cagliari made the trip to Torino last weekend but failed to give a good account of themselves.
Two goals from Che Adams, one in either half, handed the home side a comfortable 2-0 victory and left Cagliari sitting 15th in the Serie A table, just a point above the relegation places.
Forward Zito Luvumbo and goalkeeper Giuseppe Ciocci are both expected to miss out on Monday night due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Caprile (GK), Mina, Luperto, Zappa, Obert, Zortea, Marin, Deiola, Gaetano, Piccoli & Felici

Lazio preview: Progressed in the EL
Lazio's last outing in Serie A ended in a 2-1 home defeat against Fiorentina. The visitors established a two-goal lead inside the opening 17 minutes and Lazio's only response arrived in second-half stoppage-time when Adam Marusic halved the deficit but it proved too little, too late.
Matias Vecino, Danilo Cataldi, Filipe Bordon, Manuel Lazzari and Patric make up the list of injury concerns for Lazio ahead of their trip to Cagliari on Monday night.

Player to watch – Mattia Zaccagni
Mattia Zaccagni has been one of Lazio's most consistent performers so far this season and we've backed the 29-year-old as our player to watch on Monday night.
Zaccagni, who is enjoying his fourth season with Lazio, has chipped in with six Serie A goals and three assists from midfield which makes him one of the club's key attacking outlets.
The Lazio midfielder has been in good form of late
The former Verona man heads into Monday's clash with Cagliari on the back of two goals from his last three appearances for the club in all competitions, so don't be too surprised if he gets on the scoresheet in this game.
