Cagliari vs Sassuolo Prediction & Betting tips
Sassuolo Calcio scored four out of six possible points from the last two games against high-flyers Lazio Rom and Juventus Turin. No wonder that the Neroverdi camp has been quietly dreaming of the Europa League, which is only six points away five matchdays before the end of the season.
At least the Roberto De Zerbi team has to do their own homework and continue to score. In the run-up to the game between Cagliari and Sassuolo, the odds of the bookmakers swing towards the guests, as the odds comparison on a betting basis shows.
Cagliari Calcio also dreamed of international competition. The Sardinians finished sixth in the first half of the season, but fell completely in the new year. Only two of the 16 games in 2020 could be won. Meanwhile, the former surprise team in Serie A has slipped to eleventh.
Against this background, we think it is most sustainable to play at Cagliari against Sassuolo Tip 2, which will keep the Neroverdi in the race for Europe. Incidentally, further betting recommendations for the highest Italian division are available in the category Betting Tips Serie A.
Cagliari:
After the slump in the second half of the season, Cagliari Calcio reached the Ultima Ratio in March and parted ways with successful coach Rolando Maran. Successor Walter Zenga initially seemed to get the shop under control again.
After a defeat in his premier game as Isolani coach, Spal Ferrara and Turin FC celebrated the first two three-pointers of the 2020 calendar year. Five competitive games later, however, it is clear that the only two success stories should remain.
With three draws and two defeats, the result was no longer correct in the following period, which is primarily due to the completely offensive offensive, which only scored one goal in the five games in July.
Most recently, the kickers from Sardinia even stayed four times in a row without scoring their own goal and most recently caught a violent 0-3 defeat at Sampdoria Genoa on Wednesday. Against this background, it makes sense to play a tip on the Neroverdi or alternatively a goal bet like “BTS: No” at Cagliari against Sassuolo.
With only two wins from the 16 league games in calendar year 2020, the relegation specter is still not haunting Sardinia simply because of the strong first half of the season. In view of the convincing results from the first half of the season, it is difficult to be satisfied with eleventh place in the blue-red camp.
With regard to the twelve points behind Europe and the other way round twelve points ahead of the first relegation zone, the Isolani are in a kind of nirvana of the table. That shouldn’t make it easier for Walter Zenga to motivate his team enough on the home stretch of the season.
Sassuolo:
The situation at the Unione Sportiva Sassuolo Calcio camp is completely opposite. If the club from Emilia-Romagna still ranked 15th after the first half of the year, it is mainly thanks to a strong calendar year 2020 that Europe can be dreamed of again.
Already in the 2016/17 season, the Neroverdi were allowed to take part in the Europa League for the first and only time, but did not spill themselves there and paid a lot of tuition.
With only four defeats from the 16 games in calendar year 2020 (eight wins, four draws) and recently four out of six possible points from the duels with Lazio and Juventus, it would certainly not be undeserved if it ended up for another season in the second most important European competition for club teams would suffice.
Sassuolo has yet to catch up six points on a Europa League starting spot, but has the big trump card up his sleeve to still be able to compete against direct competitors such as Milan and Naples. Accordingly, if at least four wins from the last five games are achieved, it could be enough in the end.
Against this background, the next coup that would fit perfectly with the latest series is to succeed in Sardinia. The Neroverdi have been unbeaten for four league games in a row (four wins, three draws).
