Prediction: 1-1
Juventus
Unipol Domus will host Saturday’s Serie A game between Cagliari and Juventus, the two teams who shared the spoils with Inter and Torino respectively at the weekend. The Rossoblu are on the right track to secure the Serie A survival, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season. Both Marco Mancosu and Leonardo Pavoletti are sidelined with injuries, while Andrea Petagna is a major doubt.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, aim to cement their spot in top four. Anyhow, under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered as Juve are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Saturday’s encounter. Both Moise Kean and Arkadiusz Milik are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team. Massimiliano Allegri is likely to stick to the 3-5-2 formation, with Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic up front.
Highlighted Player (Weston McKennie):
After starting his youth career at FC Dallas, Weston McKennie moved to Germany in the summer of 2016, signing a contract with Bundesliga side Schalke 04. The American footballer made his Bundesliga debut on May 20, 2017, coming as a substitute in the 77th minute of the match.
The talented midfielder scored his first goal in the German elite division on August 6, 2018 in a 2-0 win at Fortuna Dusseldorf. Speaking of his international career, the Schalke footballer made his debut with United States of America on November 14, 2017 in a friendly against Portugal, finding the net on his debut.
Weston McKennie has two caps for the USA U20 team as well. His main position is central midfield, but he used as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well. The USA international was born in Fort Lewis, Washington on August 28, 1998. His preferred foot is right.
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.
