Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Cagliari will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Salernitana in the relegation six-pointer. The Rossoblu have been playing below expectations in the first half of the season, but they showed signs of improvement in a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo. Cagliari are desperate to escape the relegation zone, and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. All Godin, Walukiewicz, Ceter, and Rog are sidelined with injuries.
The newcomers, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures. Salernitana have been struggling in front of goal of late, and they are unlikely to spoil Cagliari’s party at Sardegna Arena. Franck Ribery is a major doubt, while all Veseli, Ruggeri, Strandberg, and Coulibaly should miss out 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).
