This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie A, Cagliari holding 18th place and Parma lying 19th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Cagliari have the fewest matches over the total-line (11) in Serie A
- Parma have the fewest scored goals (29) in Serie A
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Cagliari form and stats
Cagliari's struggle is real here at Sardegna Arena with only 12 points collected from 15 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-3-9. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Cagliari with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Sampdoria game, 41 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Cagliari, their manager L. Semplici and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
G. Pereiro was the last player to score a league goal for Cagliari and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Cagliari haven't scored in 187 minutes.
Cagliari are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Inter. Ahead of that match, Cagliari lost 0-2 at home to Hellas Verona.
Guglielmo Vicario had a busy but productive day in the Inter match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.
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.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Cagliari as they are travelling to their away game against Udinese in the Serie A. That match is four days after this one.
Cagliari are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 15 games. Cagliari have conceded 26 from these games.
Parma form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Parma, who have the fewest scored goals (29) in Serie A, so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 1-6-7 (win-draw-lose). One point away has become something of a habit for Parma who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Parma failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Milan (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-3. A 2-2 draw at Benevento's stadium before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Parma playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Parma win, two draws and one defeat.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Serie A trip to Juventus.
Parma have scored 19 goals on their travels this season, from 14 away games in the league. For Parma, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Parma - Cagliari 0-0. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Cagliari won four games, four matches ended with a draw and Parma has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fiveTop Goalscorers
