This is the 4th match for the new Cagliari coach, ex-Italian NT legend, Gianfranco Zola. He started with a 5-0 loss to Palermo, followed by a convincing 2-1 win over Cesena. Last round Cagliari was both lucky and unlucky, in a match they controlled until the 65th minute, when they conceded 2 quick goals. Lucky because they equalized with a 90+2 minute penalty, to finish 2-2 at Udinese.
For this match Cagliari continue to miss regular strikers Cossu and Ibarbo, as well as RB Balzani and DM Ceppitelli. However, Joao Pedro, Marco Sau and Farias should be more than enough in attack.

Sassuolo comes after a 3-3 draw away at Genoa, a result that could be considered good if it Sassuolo would not have been leading until the 90th minute. However, another last minute penalty, and another draw. Sassuolo has the most draws in Italy, 10, just as Empoli.
If you ask me, Sassuolo are playing for nothing at the moment, their football is far from impressive, while Cagliari is desperate. However the missing players for Cagliari and the overall better quality of Sassuolo make this a difficult match to predict on the 1×2 market. So i will go with goals here. Both teams will attack, Cagliari because they need a win, Sassuolo because it’s in their DNA.
Both teams to score @ odds of 1.77 by 10 bet is my prediction on this Serie A clash.
Pick: Both to score
Odds: 1.77 @ 10Bet
