Cagliari form and stats

With 2 Serie A wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Cagliari are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Cagliari who hasn’t won a league-game in their last twelve attempts. Their previous win was against Sampdoria, 85 days ago. With Cagliari having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager E. Di Francesco.

Stress levels are on the rise for Cagliari's attacking players as they have now played 340 minutes without scoring in a league game. Joao Pedro was their last goal scorer.

Cagliari faced defeat in their previous match, away at Genoa (0-1). Preceding that match was a defeat to Milan (0-2).

Cagliari are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Cagliari with 18 goals conceded in these matches.
