Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Unipol Domus will host Saturday’s football game between Cagliari and Lazio, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. The Sardinians suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches and, no doubt, they are desperate to escape the bottom three. The Rossoblu, though, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to AS Roma, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. All Rog, Shomourodov, Oristanio, and Mancosu should miss out with injuries, while there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, are eager to keep their Champions League hopes alive. Lazio failed to impress in a 3-1 loss at Atalanta, but we predict that they will take advantage of Cagliari’s shaky defence. Danilo Cataldi is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Manuel Lazzari):
Born in Valdagno, Italy on November 29, 1993, Manuel Lazzari is a midfielder who plays for Serie A side SPAL. Lazzari played for the youth teams of Montecchio Maggiore at the start of his football career and in 2011 he moved to Delta Rovigo.
After spending the 2011/2012 season at the club, Manuel Lazzarri joined Giacomense in the summer of 2012 and it has to be noted that he made 24 appearances in the league for the club. At the end of the 2012/2013 season the 174-cm-tall footballer moved to SPAL and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the club.
Manuel Lazzari had seven assists in 39 appearances for SPAL in the 2016/2017 Serie B campaign and, no doubt, he helped the club secure promotion to the Italian elite division. His main position is right midfield, but he can play as both right-back and right winger if needed. Manuel Lazzari’s contract with SPAL should expire on June 30, 2021.
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.
