Prediction: 1-2
AS Roma
Following a goalless draw with league leader Napoli, Roma will be aiming to retain their spot in top four when they take on Cagliari on Wednesday evening. The Giallorossi are eager to stay in the title race, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Cagliari. Jose Mourinho could opt to make changes to the starting XI that faced Napoli, with both El Shaarawy and Shomurodov pushing for a start. “The Special One”, though, will watch the game from the stands this time out.
The Sardinians, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Fiorentina, and given their slow start to the season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the capital club. Both Smalling and Spinazzola are injured for the visitors, while Caceres, Ceter, Dalbert, Godin, Rog, and Walukiewicz miss out for the hosts. Both Nandez and Strootman are rated doubtful.
Highlighted Player (Valter Birsa):
After making just one appearance for Primorje in the 2003/2004 campaign, Valter Birsa joined Gorica at the age of 17. He impressed with the Slovenian outfit, scoring 26 goals in 61 league matches and, as a result, earned a lucrative move to Sochaux.
The left-footed midfielder, who plays as a winger as well, did not score too many goals for the French outfit (8), but it has to be noted that he was sent on loan to Auxerre (in 2009) before his contract expired. Despite being on Liverpool’s radar, Birsa joined Genoa on 2 February 2011 and he made nine league appearances for the Rossoblu in the 2011/2012 Serie A campaign.
After ending his loan spell with Torino in 2013 he joined Italian giants Milan, in what was a swap deal for Luca Antonini, who moved to Genoa. Valter Birsa has 12 caps for Slovenia U21 and he represented the Slovenian national team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. He scored his first goal for Slovenia on 9 September, 2009 against Poland.
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.
