The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Cagliari are in the 7th position while the guests worry at 17th.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's quite the trip for SPAL when visiting Cagliari as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

SPAL form and stats

No Serie A points yet away for SPAL, from their first 3 matches. Three consecutive losses in away matches means SPAL are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

SPAL won their last game, 1-0 versus Parma played at home. Prior to that match, the SPAL manager L. Semplici faced defeat when travelling to Juventus and losing 0-2.

SPAL are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 0 goals from 3 away games. The SPAL manager L. Semplici has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: 4 wins for Cagliari, 1 draw and 0 wins for SPAL. Over 2,5 goals: 3 times; under 2,5 goals: 2 games.
