Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Cagliari and Genoa, the two teams who managed to survive in the Serie A, face each other at Sardegna Arena in what is expected to be a lively contest. The Sardinians did well to hold Milan to a goalless draw at Stadio San Siro, with the team extending their unbeaten run in the league to seven matches. Since Cagliari have already secured the Serie A survival, they will be with guards down in Saturday’s clash. Pereiro has been tested positive for coronavirus, while all Calabresi, Walukiewicz, and Rog are sidelined through injuries.
Genoa, on the other hand, secured the top flight survival despite the 4-3 loss to Atalanta. The visitors have little to play for in the last game of the season, but seeing that they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. All Biraschi, Criscito, Pellegrini, Scamacca, and Badelj are out of contention 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).
