Prediction: 1-0
Sampdoria
Cagliari will look to record their first win of the season when they take on Sampdoria at Sardegna Arena on day 8 of the new Serie A campaign. The Rossoblu aim to put an end to their seven-game winless run, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. Keep in mind, though, that all Rog, Ceppitelli, Ceter, and Walukiewicz are sidelined with injuries for the home team.
La Samp, on the other hand, played out an entertaining 3-3 draw with Udinese before the international break. However, we are not tempted to put our money on Roberto D’Aversa’s troops this time out as the rock-bottom side want this win more than Sampdoria. Both Vieira and Verre are injured, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Sardinia.
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).
