Cagliari form and stats

Cagliari's results here at Sardegna Arena in the Serie A have been very modest with 2 victories, 6 draws and 8 defeats. It's trouble wherever Cagliari are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Cagliari suffered an unpredictable defeat 1-2 against Juventus in their previous outing, also played in front of their own fans. Pedro, a natural forward, was the top performer for the side in that match, earning a rating of 7.2 (out of 10). Pedro scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Heartbreak before that as Cagliari lost 1-5 at Udinese's place.

Cagliari are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 16 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Cagliari defense is not exactly impregnable. 28 goals conceded from 16 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
