Today in Turin, Juventus and Cagliari played out a draw that mattered to no one, not even other Serie A sides. But hey, there were cute kids!
Today in Turin, Juventus and Cagliari played out a draw that mattered to no one, not even other Serie A sides. But hey, there were cute kids!
If you think that Udinese's 1-0 win over Cagliari on Saturday evening was boring, you clearly don't know the whole story.
Udinese have won three games on the bounce, and have suddenly moved themselves up into European contention. Cagliari will try to stop the Zebrette here.
Napoli never like to make a match look easy, and so it's little surprise that it took until stoppage time for Lorenzo Insigne to clinch the win over Cagliari. The three points put Napoli 7 points ahead of Milan in the race for second place.
With Milan set to play Juventus on Sunday night, it's imperative that Napoli get all three points to increase their lead in second place. Unfortunately, they're set to host Cagliari, one of the hottest sides in Serie A right now.
Mauricio Pinilla came off the bench to score twice as Cagliari continued their strong 2013 form with a victory over injury-ridden Inter.
Inter are now eight points off the final Champions League place in Serie A and victory against in-form Cagliari is the only option to maintain their hopes of making it in next season.
Cagliari traveled to Sicily intent on bringing home just a point. Catania could do little to get past their defenses, meaning their speculative dream of European qualification is sinking somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Elefanti are currently five points out of the Europa League spots, but a win over Cagliari could keep the dream alive for Catania. However, the in-form Sardinians won't be willing to give up the points quietly.
Fiorentina showed how much Borja Valero means to this squad with another disappointing loss away.
Rather than pick up an easy win in Sardinia, Fiorentina struggled to synchronize their attack. Instead, it was a brace from Mauricio Pinilla that gave Cagliari all three points.
A win in Sardinia could put Fiorentina even on points with Milan, sharing third place in Serie A. But will Cagliari prove to be obliging hosts?
