Prediction: 1-1
Cagliari
After shocking Genoa at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, Monza will be aiming to stay in top ten when they face Cagliari on Matchday 29. The Biancorossi have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play against the Sardinians. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but both Roberto Gagliardini and Samuele Vignato remain in the recovery room. Cagliari, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Empoli and Salernitana.
The Rossoblu are determined to escape the danger zone, but beating Monza at Brianteo is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Uzbekistan ace Eldor Shomurodov, who scored a brace in the last league match, while all Marko Rog, Leonardo Pavoletti, and Zito Luvumbo continue to miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Gianluca Lapadula):
Gianluca Lapadula, also known as Lapagol, due to his goalscoring abilities, was born in Turin and started his career at Juventus youth team, but was released because he wasn’t doing well in his studies. After the departure with Juventus, Lapadula perfected his goalscoring skills in lower Italian leagues and even spent one year in NK Gorica, Slovenia.
During his spell in Ravenna, he managed to finish the season 2012/13 as the top scorer in the group, netting 24 goals in the process. For a long period of time, the 28-year-old was Parma’s player, but he went on loans often, and, after Parma went bankrupt, Lapagol moved to Pescara. With 30 goals in 43 appearances, the striker caught the eye of Serie A giant Milan. He netted his first goal for the Rossoneri only three minutes after he came on as a substitute.
The following season Lapagol became the striker of Genoa. Even though he was called to play for Peru, the Genoa hitman decided to represent Italy, getting his first call to the senior squad in November 2016. However, he never made an official appearance for Italy, since he only played an unofficial friendly against San Marino, when he scored a hat-trick.
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.
