Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Frosinone will be aiming to put an end to their five-game losing run in the Serie A when they take on Cagliari in Sunday’s matinee. The Canarini experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-0 loss to Atalanta, but they are surely capable of matching the Rossoblu in front of home fans. Both Romagnoli and Ghedjemis are pushing for a start, while the likes of Kalaj, Oyono, and Baez remain in the recovery room.
The Sardinians, on the other hand, defeated Bologna 2-1 on home soil at the weekend, but given their poor away record in the Italian top flight, we believe that the time has come for Frosinone to return to winning ways. Forward Zito Luvumbo is on international duty, while all Gianluca Lapadula, Gaetano Oristanio, Marko Rog, and Eldor Shomurodov are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Gianluca Lapadula):
Gianluca Lapadula, also known as Lapagol, due to his goalscoring abilities, was born in Turin and started his career at Juventus youth team, but was released because he wasn’t doing well in his studies. After the departure with Juventus, Lapadula perfected his goalscoring skills in lower Italian leagues and even spent one year in NK Gorica, Slovenia.
During his spell in Ravenna, he managed to finish the season 2012/13 as the top scorer in the group, netting 24 goals in the process. For a long period of time, the 28-year-old was Parma’s player, but he went on loans often, and, after Parma went bankrupt, Lapagol moved to Pescara. With 30 goals in 43 appearances, the striker caught the eye of Serie A giant Milan. He netted his first goal for the Rossoneri only three minutes after he came on as a substitute.
The following season Lapagol became the striker of Genoa. Even though he was called to play for Peru, the Genoa hitman decided to represent Italy, getting his first call to the senior squad in November 2016. However, he never made an official appearance for Italy, since he only played an unofficial friendly against San Marino, when he scored a hat-trick.
