Cagliari vs Sassuolo Prediction & Betting tips
In the first home game of the season, Cagliari Sassuolo visits. In the 2016/2017 season, these matches guaranteed a spectacle, Cagliari won at home with 4-3 and Sassuolo won 6-2 in his own home. Last season we saw few goals, Sassuolo won with 0-1 and in the home duel it ended 0-0.
Cagliari:
Cagliari started the season with PhD student Empoli. Purchase Lukas Castro starts immediately in the base, just like striker Leonardo Pavoletti, who was hired last year and is now definitively taken over.
In the first half, Cagliari was more or less equal to the opponent, yet it looked after a quarter of an hour behind. Empoli cleverly tapped the defense and after Paolo Farago started a weak tackle, the home team got the 1-0 on a silver platter. In the second half, Cagliari tried to push through, but after six minutes it got the second goal. Farago ran back to his own sixteen instead of defending the man, after which Caputo could score a shot. Cagliari got a few shots on target, but did not create any real big chances and I think this game is a big contender for relegation.
Sassuolo:
Sassuolo played in the first game at home against Internazionale. For that team it turned out to be a true fear giver, in the previous six match it won five. This was also the case in this competition. In the first half, the teams were equal to each other and was the first big chance for Sassuolo in the fourth minute. Keeper Handanovic of Inter brought good rescue and promoted the ball to corner. After half an hour it was still close for Sassuolo when Domenico Berardi was allowed to play for the penalty kick after an unnecessary violation of Miranda.
In the second half Inter had the field overweight and the home team was content with lurking on the outbreak. There, too, there were still great chances, as Kevin-Prince Boateng gained the spot from the edge of sixteen. In the extension, Sassuolo goalkeeper Andrea Consigli still had to save after a header by Stefan de Vrij, then the 1-0 win was safe. Sassuolo showed that he was ready for the new season with this strong team effort.
