Venue: Sardegna Arena (16233 seats)

The Serie A league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 18th and 5th respectively.

Cagliari and Genoa should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Cagliari form and stats

Two Serie A home games so far for Cagliari, who are yet to win here at Sardegna Arena. Only 0 points so far. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Cagliari, their manager R. Maran and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Happy days for Cagliari in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Parma (placed 15th) that ended with a 3-1 victory. Ahead of that match, Cagliari lost 1-2 at home to Inter.

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). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 2 Lost 2.

Early season league goal statistics from Cagliari's 2 home games: 1 goal, 3 conceded.

Genoa form and stats

One match played away so far in the Serie A for Genoa and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 2 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses from 19 games.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Atalanta with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Before that, Genoa travelled to Roma and returned home with a draw after the game finished 3-3.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Genoa in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Genoa, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

It's early days yet, but Genoa has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Cagliari won 4, Genoa won 4 and 2 draws. 6 games with over 2,5 goals, 4 matches with two goals or less.
