Preview
Cagliari head into this after a 6-2 loss to Leeds United in their previous and final pre-season clash on Sunday.
Rodrigo scored a hat-trick alongside a brace from Bamford and Koch’s late goal. Lapadula and Livumbo scored for the Serie A to make the contest interesting but not enough for a result.
The Serie A side haven’t been consistent in recent matches so this is the best chance to start their season on a high, with this one.
On the other hand, Perugia last played earlier last month where they lost 4-1 to Napoli in their previous pre-season clash.
The Serie C side has lost 3 of the last 5 matches and will be looking to surprise themselves in this one-shot knockout clash.
Both these sides last met in a club friendly match in 2016 during the Serie B, where Perugia won 2-0.

Prediction: Cagliari 2-1 Perugia
These Cup matches prove to be edgy affairs due to the knockout format nature. However, we see Cagliari nicking this one by the odd goal as they have the likes of Lapadula in good form.
The Serie B side are on a two-match losing run and with a visit to the Serie A side, it could take a toll on their future in next round.
