Prediction: 1-1
Cagliari
Modena and Cagliari face each other at Stadio Alberto Braglia in the opening match of the Serie B round 23. I Canarini aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Ternana, but they face a difficult task against the Rossoblu, who have been in a fine form of late. Boss Attilio Tesser should have a full squad to choose from for Friday’s encounter. Meanwhile, the Sardinians defeated Spal on Matchday 22, with the team retaining their spot in top eight.
Cagliari have been impressive on home soil in recent weeks, but given their anything but good away record, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Peru international Gianluca Lapadula, who scored his 8th goal of the season against the Gli Spalini. All Nandez, Pavoletti, Viola, Di Pardo, Deiola, and Goldaniga are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the away team.
Highlighted Player (Gaston Pereiro):
Uruguay midfielder Gaston Pereiro has been with PSV since 2015 when he was transferred from his boyhood club Nacional. An attacking midfielder is a member of the Uruguayan U-20 national team and is yet to receive a senior call-up he hopes will come with fine performances at the club he is contracted to until 2020.
Pereiro is a flamboyant midfielder who adds creativity and flair to PSV’s play. The Uruguay international has already achieved the cult status with the supporters, despite being at the club a little over a year. Pereiro scored a brace against PSV’s most feared and detested rivals Ajax, writing his name into the club’s history books as his presence proved to be pivotal in earning three points that proved to be the difference between the two rivals at the end of the season.
Gaston Pereiro made 30 Eredivisie appearances in his maiden season with PSV scoring 12 goals in the process and fans hope that the Uruguay midfielder will add up to the tally in the new season as well.
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.
