Cagliari and Fiorentina are set to clash at Unipol Domus in the opening match of Serie A’s 38th round. With Cagliari already assured of their place in Serie A next season, they have little at stake in this final game. Matteo Prati, who scored as a substitute in their victory over Sassuolo, is expected to return to the starting lineup. However, the team will be without Jakub Jankto and Antoine Makoumbou due to injuries, and defender Alberto Dossena is suspended for this match.
On the other hand, Fiorentina is aiming for a spot in the Conference League. Given that Cagliari’s manager, Claudio Ranieri, is likely to rotate his squad, Fiorentina is favored to win. In their previous Serie A encounter, Fiorentina triumphed over Cagliari with a 3-0 victory. For this match, forward Riccardo Sottil will be the only absentee for the visitors.
Prediction: Fiorentina to win 2-1.
