National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Cagliari or Cittadella that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Cagliari nor Cittadella as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It's quite the trip for Cittadella when visiting Cagliari as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
Cagliari form and stats
Cagliari have reached this Coppa Italia stage through battling and winning against Pisa. Cagliari participated in Coppa Italia the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.Cagliari's struggle is real here with only 7 points collected from 9 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-4. Cagliari have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
In their previous game, the manager Mazzarri led his Cagliari to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Inter. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. As you see from the result above, Cagliari suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Cragno had a busy but productive day in the Inter match. Despite making eleven saves the loss could not be prevented. Goalkeeper Alessio Cragno got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.43 out of ten. Cragno saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with eleven saves.
In the match before that, Cagliari hosted Torino and drew the Serie A game 1-1.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Cagliari, as the Serie A home game vs Udinese is only three days away.
Cagliari are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Cagliari defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
