Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Wednesday’s football game at Sardegna Arena pits together Cagliari and Fiorentina, the two teams who want to escape the danger zone. Cagliari are only four points clear of the bottom three, but their current form is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Fiorentina. Pereiro has been tested positive for coronavirus, while both Rog and Sottil are likely to miss the game through injuries.
The Viola, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Lazio. The visitors are likely to adopt a cautious approach against Cagliari, and seeing that the Sardinians should be happy with one point from the match, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Igor returns to the starting XI after serving his ban in the 2-0 win over Lazio, while Borja Valero is likely to miss the game through injury.
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).
