Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 1-0
Udinese
Cagliari will look to make amends for a 4-0 loss to Inter when they host Udinese to their Sardegna Arena on Matchday 18. The Sardinians are eyeing their first league win since October 17, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Udinese. All Rog, Strootman, and Walukiewicz are sidelined with injuries, while Nandez will be assessed ahead of the match. The Zebrette, on the other hand, head into the game following a 1-1 draw with Milan.
Udinese have been struggling at the back of late, and seeing that they conceded eight goals in total in the previous three league fixtures, we are tempted to put our money on Cagliari. Former Watford attacker Isaac Success is banned for the visitors, while Pereyra misses out through injury. In their last meeting in the Italian top flight Udinese defeated Cagliari thanks to Joao Pedro’s goal.
Highlighted Player (Diego Godin):
Diego Godin is considered one of the best defenders in the history of Uruguayan football. The Atletico Madrid centre back played for Cerro and Nacional in the Uruguayan national championship between 2003 and 2007 and in August, 2017 he signed a deal with La Liga side Villarreal.
Godin made 91 league appearances for the Yellow Submarine and on 4 August he made probably the best decision of his career as he signed a contract with Atletico Madrid. The Uruguayan defender won the 2013/2014 La Liga trophy with los Rojiblancos, while making it to the Champions League final on two occasions (2014, 2016). He won the Europa League trophy in the 2011/2012 season with Atletico Madrid as well.
Speaking of his international career, Godin clinched the 2011 Copa America trophy with Uruguay. Despite playing as a centre back, Diego Godin often scores after set pieces and you should have in mind that he scored eight goals for Diego Simeone’s team in the 2013/2014 season (all competitions).
