The Nerazzurri began their campaign with Lautaro's two goals securing a 2-0 triumph over Monza. A victory in this encounter would allow them to stay on par with Napoli, Milan, and Verona as the sole teams with an unblemished record after two rounds.
Francesco Acerbi remains sidelined due to injury, and Matteo Darmian has overcome an ankle knock. Meanwhile, Thuram is favored over Marko Arnautovic in the forward position.
New signing Alexis Sanchez is not yet part of the squad, having recently joined over the weekend.
Cagliari secured promotion with a dramatic last-minute goal in the play-offs against Bari. This marks their inaugural home match celebrating that achievement, following a goalless draw against Torino on the road.
Gianluca Lapadula, Marko Rog, and Marco Mancosu are long-term absentees from the Cagliari side.
For 20-year-old Gaetano Oristanio, currently on loan from Inter and a product of their youth academy, this match holds particular significance.
