Cagliari form and stats

With 3 Serie A wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Cagliari are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Cagliari faced defeat in their previous match, away at Spezia (1-2). Ahead of that match, Cagliari lost 1-3 at home to Juventus.

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 six matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost zero.

Cagliari has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 24 goals have been conceded.

Hellas Verona form and stats

4-5-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Hellas Verona in their Serie A matches away. Recent form does not give Hellas much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Cagliari will be a tough nut to crack.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Atalanta with 0-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sassuolo wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 17 similar matches played by Hellas Verona in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Hellas Verona, nine draws and five defeats.

Hellas have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 18 goals have been scored. 18 goals have been conceded by Hellas in these games.

Head 2 Head
