Cagliari form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie A this season. Cagliari have only managed 2 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Sardegna Arena.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 208 minutes without scoring a league goal. Deiola was the last player to find the net.

In their previous game, the manager Mazzarri led his Cagliari to a defeat away at Spezia. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Sardegna Arena. The goalie Cragno was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.85 out of ten. Cragno saved a penalty.

Preceding that match was the home game against Lazio that was lost 0-3.

Cagliari are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 14 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Cagliari defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. When Cagliari hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Genoa, Sampdoria, Venezia, Spezia, Udinese and Salernitana), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
