This evening 19:30 are set to be played the two Serie A matches postponed after the death of Lazio fan Gabriele Sandri. Inter and Roma have the opportunity to open a gap between them and the rest by winning home games against Lazio and Cagliari. Also the third match postponed Atalanta-Milan is still to be played but the European Champions in Japan to compete for the Club World Cup won't play today.
Roma doesn't want to lose points to Inter, already 3 points off giallorossi, and get an opportunity to join them top of the table in the case the team of coach Mancini will lose the home game against Lazio.
Roma can count again on his captain Francesco Totti finally recovered from the foot injury that kept him away from the pitch for 40 days. The captain will probably join forces upfront with young ace Mirko Vucinic that has been a worthy substitube of the roman striker during the last month.
Cagliari, who's bottom of the table along with Siena, Reggina and Empoli, needs points to climb away from the relegation zone and will try to set back Roma's race to the title
Probable line-ups
ROMA: Doni; Panucci, Mexes, Ferrari, Tonetto; De Rossi, Pizarro; Vucinic, Giuly, Taddei; Totti
CAGLIARI: Marruocco; Ferri, Lopez, Bianco, Agostini; Budel, Conti, Fini; Foggia, Acquafresca, Matri
