.... today, when the host Livorno.
Cagliari had early chances to take the lead at Reggina, but wasted them, having started the season with two losses, a win is now vital.
Livorno coach, Daniele Arrigoni, is sure of a very noisy reception from the home fans, twice in charge of the Sardinian club, his second stay lasted only 90 minutes, or one game, the supporters refusing to accept him back.
Arrigoni strongly favours a squad rotation policy, rumours are that even "superstar" striker Cristiano Lucarelli, is not immune and could start on the bench. Whether that is true or not, 2-3 changes will definitely be made. These changes have already got him into trouble with the club's owner, who was very critical of the line up for the big derby game with Fiorentina last weekend.
It all turned out well, with a 1-0 win, but to be criticised so strongly, just two games into a new season, hardly augurs well for his long term future.
Hard to know where their priorities lie, with a big game against Milan at the weekend and a UEFA Cup trip next midweek, you can understand Arrigoni wanting to keep the squad fresh.
Cagliari are playing a little better than two losses would suggest, they are confident that things will come good and training has gone well this week, the team spirit remains upbeat. They took 4 points off the visitors last season and have not lost in the last 7 meetings. At -1/4 ball on the asian handicap they look a nice bet.
Late news......... it looks like the Lucarelli news is correct and number 99 starts on the bench.
4 points Cagliari -1/4 2.01 asian line.
Going to post one more bet for tonight a little later.
Good Luck.
