Cagliari form and stats

5-3-9 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Cagliari so far this season. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Cagliari after consecutive victories at their own ground.

A good away victory last time out for Cagliari, who won 3-1 against Benevento (placed 18th). Before that, Cagliari played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Napoli.

Cagliari goalkeeper Alessio Cragno did an outstanding job against Benevento with six saves, so vital to securing the victory.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cagliari have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites).

The manager L. Semplici will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Milan in only four days.

Dušan Vlahović (2) scored in Fiorentina's previous match, the home game against Lazio that ended 2-0. Before that, Fiorentina travelled to Bologna and returned home with a draw after the game finished 3-3.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fiorentina playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were three Fiorentina wins, one draw and three defeats.

After this away game Fiorentina return home for a Serie A game against Napoli. That game is only four sleeps after this.
