Sassuolo vs Cagliari Prediction & Betting Tips (19 May)

2 days before the end of the championship, Sassuolo finds itself in a very uncomfortable situation and occupies 19th place in Serie A with 3 points behind the first non-relegation team. The teammates of former Merlu Armand Laurienté never found the right fuel despite a squad that should have allowed them to have fewer scares. After a series of 6 games without winning, 3 draws and 3 defeats, they surprised everyone by dominating Inter 1-0. Unfortunately, Sassuolo did not confirm last weekend and fell to Genoa 2-1. Back in the elite this season, Cagliari is logically struggling not to go down.

The promoted team is currently 16th in Serie A and is a small point ahead of the first relegated team. Victorious only once in the last 8 days, for 4 draws and 3 defeats, Claudio Ranieri's men do not display unfailing confidence these days. They will have to work hard to avoid falling into the red zone. After being held to a draw at home by Lecce 1-1, Cagliari suffered a heavy setback at AC Milan last weekend 5-1.

The absence since the beginning of March of the Italian international Berardi (9 goals and 3 assists in SA) obviously constitutes a huge blow for Sassuolo who are fighting to maintain their position. We also find in the infirmary the wingers usually replacing Defrel and Castillejo. In the offensive domain, the influential Laurienté (5 goals and 4 assists in SA) and Pinamonti (11 goals in SA) take their place. Norwegian midfielder Thorvstedt (6 goals in SA) is also available. Cagliari remains deprived of important midfielder Makoumbou and winger Jankto, who have not sufficiently recovered from their physical problems.

On the other hand, the starting left back Augello and the influential winter recruit Gaetano (4 goals and 1 assist in SA) are there after serving their suspension. The Sardinians sank last weekend against AC Milan with 5 goals conceded. The attacking duo could again consist of Shomurodov (3 goals and 3 assists in SA) and Luvumbo (4 goals and 4 assists in SA).
