LiontipsCagliari vs Spezia. Prediction and Betting Tips for Serie A (August 23, 2021).
Command Analysis
Cagliari looked good in the first half of the 2020/2021 season, but that didn't last. After the winter break, Cagliari lost their game and sacked the manager Eusebio Di Francesco. He was replaced by Leonardo Semplici, who helped the team avoid relegation. The Sardinians finished the season on the 16th line in the table.
In the summer, Cagliari have made attempts to strengthen the squad. The club loaned Kevin Strootman from Marseille and Dalbert from Inter Milan. On the other hand, Radja Nainggolan's loan came to an end, which is a big loss for the team.
In the first official match of the season, Cagliari beat Pisa 3-1 in Coppa Italia.
Speziahad a poor start last season and were considered the main outsiders of Serie A, along with Crotone and Benevento. The Little Eagles, however, started steadily improving throughout the year, upsetting many strong opponents. The club finished 15th in the standings and avoided the relegation battle.
Spezia's biggest loss is undoubtedly Vincenzo Italiano. The manager who took the Little Eagles from an average Serie B team to a dark horse in the top league, received an offer from Fiorentina. Tommaso Pobega has returned to AC Milan at the end of his loan period.
To make up for these losses, Spezia loaned Viktor Kovalenko and Ebrima Colley from Atalanta. The new head coach is Thiago Motta. In the first official match of the season, Spezia got a 3-1 victory over Pordenone in the first round of the Coppa Italia. Ebrima Colley scored his first goal for Spezia.

Tip and bets
Cagliari finished the previous season well under the leadership of Semplici. They retained their place in Serie A, which was their main goal. In the summer the team was strengthened and Cagliari certainly set more ambitious goals for the new season. The Sardinians are traditionally dangerous at home: this is where they get most of their points. Spezia are still getting in shape, and we think they don't have a big chance for points in this round.
Our prediction - Cagliari to win.
Cagliari will try to win at home. Spezia are relatively unfit and will struggle against the hosts. We believe that the Little Eagles will avoid a crushing defeat, but Cagliari should still win this fixture.
Our second bet - Cagliari to win by 1 goal.
