Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Cagliari and Genoa go head to head at Unipol Domus in an all-Rossoblu clash on Matchday 11. The Sardinians came from behind to beat Frosinone 4-3 at the weekend, with the team recording their first win of the season. Cagliari now aim to escape the relegation zone and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Genoa. Leonardo Pavoletti is pushing for a start after scoring a brace in the last league match, while Nahitan Nandez has joined the likes of Simone Aresti and Marko Rog in the recovery room.
Alberto Gilardino’s troops continue with their habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels; therefore, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Sunday’s encounter. Filip Jagiello continues to miss out with injury, while Junior Messias should recover in time to face Cagliari.
Highlighted Team (Cagliari):
Cagliari are a professional football club based in Cagliari, Sardinia. I Rossoblu (The Red and Blues) compete in Italian Serie A and the club’s biggest success came in 1970, when they won the national championship.
Cagliari finished the season in top position in the standings, four points clear of Juventus and it has to be noted that Luigi Riva led Cagliari to their first Serie A trophy.
I Rossoblu welcome their rivals at Stadio Sant’Elia and the capacity of the stadium is 16,000. In the 1993/1994 season Cagliari made it to the UEFA Cup semis, with the team suffering a loss to fellow Italian club Inter in the two-legged tie.
Giuseppe Pancaro helped Cagliari record a 3-2 win over Inter in the first leg, but I Rossoblu were hammered by the Nerazzurri in the second leg (3-0). Palermo are regarded as Cagliari’s main rivals and the two teams square off against each other in the Derby delle Isole.
