Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Monday’s football game between Cagliari and Lazio will bring down the curtain on the Serie A round 23. The Rossoblu aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Torino and the fact that they crushed Lecce 4-1 in their last league match is fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Lazio. Goalkeeper Giuseppe Ciocci continues to miss out with injury, while Angola forward Zito Luvumbo faces race against the clock to be fit for Monday’s clash.
The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Fiorentina. As Lazio rolled over Verona 3-0 in their last away game, we believe that punters from around the globe can find value in betting on the capital club. Marco Baroni rested several first-team regulars in the Europa League game against Braga, but the experienced tactician is going to field the best possible side this time out. All Nuno Tavares, Manuel Lazzari, Matias Vecino, and Patric are injured for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Manuel Lazzari):
Born in Valdagno, Italy on November 29, 1993, Manuel Lazzari is a midfielder who plays for Serie A side SPAL. Lazzari played for the youth teams of Montecchio Maggiore at the start of his football career and in 2011 he moved to Delta Rovigo.
After spending the 2011/2012 season at the club, Manuel Lazzarri joined Giacomense in the summer of 2012 and it has to be noted that he made 24 appearances in the league for the club. At the end of the 2012/2013 season the 174-cm-tall footballer moved to SPAL and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the club.
Manuel Lazzari had seven assists in 39 appearances for SPAL in the 2016/2017 Serie B campaign and, no doubt, he helped the club secure promotion to the Italian elite division. His main position is right midfield, but he can play as both right-back and right winger if needed. Manuel Lazzari’s contract with SPAL should expire on June 30, 2021.
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.
