Prediction: 2-1
Cagliari
Following four consecutive draws in the Serie A, Udinese will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Cagliari at Bluenergy Stadium – Stadio Friuli on Wednesday evening. Udinese have yet to record a win in the new Serie A campaign, but the bookies still see them as favourites to beat the Sardinians on home soil. Both Lucca and Ferreira are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while Deulofeu and Ehizibue remain in the recovery room. Brenner is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, aim to build on a 4-3 win over Frosinone. Cagliari, though, are not regarded as good travellers and given the importance of the Coppa Italia clash for Udinese, home win should be considered. Both Marko Rog and Simone Aresti are out of contention through injuries, speaking of the visiting team.
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.
