From the available season statistics, Torino’s main attacking reference is G. Simeone, who has contributed 11 league goals and remains available for this trip. Cagliari’s leading creative outlet is S. Esposito, with 6 goals and 5 assists, and he is also available.

Impact-wise, Cagliari lose depth in attack with Pavoletti and the suspended Pedro, reducing their options to support Esposito. Torino’s primary attacking output is intact with Simeone, but the absence of Gineitis and several doubtful midfielders may affect their supply lines and balance between midfield and attack.
