Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Sunday’s football game at Sardegna Arena pits together Cagliari and Roma, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the season finale. Cagliari are fighting hard to secure the Serie A survival, and back-to-back wins over Parma and Udinese are surely giving fans a reason for optimism. Naingollan is banned for the hosts, while Tramoni, Sottil, and Rog are all out of contention with injuries. Cragno has been tested positive for coronavirus.
The Giallorossi, on the other hand, are eyeing a place in the Europa Conference League. The capital club are three points behind top six, and seeing that they are likely to go for a win in the Sardegna Arena clash as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Ibanez will have to serve his ban against Cagliari, while El Shaarawy, Zaniolo, Smalling, Pedro, and Kumbulla are on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Diego Godin):
Diego Godin is considered one of the best defenders in the history of Uruguayan football. The Atletico Madrid centre back played for Cerro and Nacional in the Uruguayan national championship between 2003 and 2007 and in August, 2017 he signed a deal with La Liga side Villarreal.
Godin made 91 league appearances for the Yellow Submarine and on 4 August he made probably the best decision of his career as he signed a contract with Atletico Madrid. The Uruguayan defender won the 2013/2014 La Liga trophy with los Rojiblancos, while making it to the Champions League final on two occasions (2014, 2016). He won the Europa League trophy in the 2011/2012 season with Atletico Madrid as well.
Speaking of his international career, Godin clinched the 2011 Copa America trophy with Uruguay. Despite playing as a centre back, Diego Godin often scores after set pieces and you should have in mind that he scored eight goals for Diego Simeone’s team in the 2013/2014 season (all competitions).
Highlighted Team (AS Roma):
AS Roma is a professional football club based in Rome. Roma were founded by a merger in 1927 and they play in the Italian Serie A. Roma’s fiercest rivals are Lazio and it has to be noted that both capital clubs play their home games at Stadio Olimpico. The two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Capitale, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world of football.
The Giallorossi (The Yellow and Reds) have won three Serie A titles (1941/1942, 1982/1983, 2000/2001), while winning nine Coppa Italia trophies. The colour of Roma’s shirts is imperial purple with a golden yellow trim. A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
