Inter-Salernitana 5-0, pokerissimo with Scudetto view. Not even the time to say that the Nerazzurri were no longer able to win or score and here it is the binge of points and goals (Lautaro's hat-trick and Dzeko's brace), albeit against the last in the standings. Which, however, had been able to stop Milan no later than two weeks ago, which is why it is right to underline the good performance of Inzaghi's team, capable of meeting up precisely on the weekend that can direct the tricolor. Yeah, because at this point tomorrow's challenge between Naples and Milan becomes a great chance to score points, certainly on one of the two, perhaps on both: what is certain is that Inter, at the time of writing, are back at the top of the standings, moreover with the match in Bologna still to be recovered . Today however, while waiting for tomorrow's matches (that of Maradona, of course, but also Juventus-Spezia), it's time to focus on Roma-Atalanta and Cagliari-Lazio, fundamental challenges both in terms of Europe and salvation.
Rome-Atalanta (18, Dazn)
The match at the Olimpico is certainly the most captivating, if only because two offensive teams face each other and always looking for the show. Of course, if for Gasperini this is a compliment, the same cannot be said for Mourinho, who has made solidity and the defensive phase the mantra of his numerous successes, but today reality says this, so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the challenge. Ranking in hand this appears to be a real Champions playoff, even if the Goddess, by winning, could even have Scudetto ambitions: if Juve believes in it, after all, she can do it too, virtually tied in the standings with the same points (they have 3 fewer, but still lack the match with Turin). For Roma, on the other hand, there are no calculations that hold: if they still want to have hopes of the Champions League, they must necessarily win, just like in the first leg in Bergamo, when they prevailed with a sensational 4-1.
Rome-Atalanta: the formations
The two technicians, both silent on the press (Mou by disqualification, Gasp by choice), recover important players: the Giallorossi finds everyone again with the exception of the usual Spinazzola, the Nerazzurri lost the suspended Toloi but embraced Djimsiti, Demiral and, albeit only for the bench, Malinovskyi. Roma's 3-4-1-2 Thus he will see Rui Patricio in goal, Mancini, Smalling and Kumbulla in defense, Karsdorp, Cristante, Mkhitaryan and Vina in midfield, Pellegrini in the trocar, Zaniolo and Abraham in attack. Gasperini will respond with an unprecedented 4-2-3-1 with Musso between the posts, Hateboer, Demiral, Palomino and Maehle in the back department, De Roon and Freuler in the midfield, Miranchuk, Koopmeiners and Pessina behind the "false nueve" Pasalic.
Cagliari-Lazio (20.45, Dazn, Sky Sport)
The postponement of the evening will instead go on stage in Cagliari, where Mazzarri's very fast rossoblu will host Sarri's Lazio. Very interesting challenge, as well as difficult to predict: the hosts, despite being fourth from last (with one game more than Venice third from last), come from 5 consecutive useful results and are going through a great moment of form, as certified by the victory in Turin, the biancocelesti instead they are veterans from defeat against Naples, but they still want to have their say in Europe. To do so, however, they must win, as well as Cagliari if they want to get out of the hot spot, which is why it is reasonable to expect a very tense match, in which the episodes could make the difference.
Cagliari-Lazio: the formations
Mazzarri, after the January revolution, now seems to have found his eleven type, even if the infirmities of Baselli and Nandez will force him to revise it, at least partially. The 3-5-2 rossoblu it will consist of Cragno in goal, Goldaniga, Lovato and Altare in defense, Bellanova, Marin, Grassi, Deiola and Dalbert in midfield, Pereiro and Joao Pedro in attack. Two absences also for Sarri, who will have to do without the usual Lazzari and Cataldi, for a 4-3-3 who will thus see Strakosha between the posts, Marusic, Luiz Felipe, Acerbi and Radu in the back department, Milinkovic-Savic, Leiva and Luis Alberto in the midfield, Felipe Anderson, Immobile and Zaccagni in the offensive trident.
